I have no old romantic dreamer's ideas about democracy. I agree completely that the masses aren't qualified to make their own decisions about education, health care, the environment and retirement. Choosing their leaders for them is also probably a good idea too.
After seeing many of the opinions of many Americans on these boards - I'm very glad that I don't live in a country where that level of bigotry and ignorance could play a role in a democratic process. Put simply - there are far too many stupid people around for democracy to work properly. Just look at the current US President. If that is what democracy gets you - time to find a better system.
