Bertrand Russell is wrong.
That\u2019s not the whole problem.
You and I are the other part of the problem.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Do you believe that the way societies are governed is working well and needs no further attention?<\/p>

\"\"\u00a0<\/p>

If so, then you and the three other people on Earth who agree with you should go watch some funny videos instead of wasting your time here.<\/p>

For the rest of us, let\u2019s start by enumerating the things that are wrong with public governance:<\/p>

Problem #1<\/strong>\u00a0Each of us has found themselves in a voting booth, confronted by candidates we know something about and others we know nothing about; not to mention referendum choices we haven\u2019t had time to study.<\/p>

But, heeding the \u201cit\u2019s everyone\u2019s responsibility to vote!\u201d drumbeat, we make a bunch of choices, some vaguely informed and others completely uninformed. All our choices, informed or otherwise, will affect the lives of ourselves, our families\u2026 everyone.<\/p>

Problem #2<\/strong>\u00a0Every smart politician knows that elections are won by pandering to the emotions of a part of the population whose thoughts on issues can fit on a bumper sticker.<\/p>

Problem #3<\/strong>\u00a0Voting systems are a mess. Vote by mail, seen as a big advance, opens up new channels for abuse.<\/p>

Technology has been developed to make voting systems fair and nearly incorruptible, but as those who decide which methods and systems to adopt choose not to learn about those systems, we will go from one bad voting system to another.<\/p>
