Democracy does not work — consider Dancing with the Stars' latest winner

Caveat — I make a pertinent point . . .

 

. . . in an arguably silly, but validly indicative way.

 

 

Ranking models of governance — by what we watch on television

 

I stoop to expressing irritation with the United States' pee-puddle culture.

 

 

Herds of braindead at the helm

 

My wife likes Dancing with the Stairs. I find it annoying.

 

It is another of those television shows invites the rampaging ignorami — who roam America's public spaces, displaying their absent grasp on anything even mildly important — to trample Common Sense with standards-lacking idiot worship.

 

 

To wit

 

Yesterday, humbly nice guy Bobby Bones, who should have been eliminated early on — for blazing lack of talent, skill, coordination, music sense and whatever —  took home the dance champion's "mirror ball".

 

What can I say?

 

 

No quality performance standard is too obvious to be ignored?

 

Objectivity, what's that?

 

"My" herd's vacuity beats "your" massively displayed (lonely) skill and effort?

 

 

The moral? — if you want a complete divorce from Reality, the United States' overflows with it

 

Evidently by enthusiastic societal design.

 

The case for governance by artificial intelligence grows every day.
