Stupidity is present in all populations in similar numbers. Gender, ethnicity, nationality, education, and income – all have a fixed percentage of stupid people.
This is precisely why we must insist on following the 10th Amendment. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The states provide us with 50 experiments or solutions to specific problems (I like using California as an example of the wrong approach but one that must be encouraged to demonstrate how California solutions fail.)
Unfortunately, we have allowed the federal (central) government to take over via coercion. The Feds allocate funds back to the states to do as instructed, a backdoor way to violate the 10th Amendment. The result is one solution rather than 50 and thus the entire population suffers from a bad decision rather than just the population of the state (granted California affects a lot of people but it's still less than the US population).
It's time to reduce federal taxes, reduce the federal bureaucracy, return authority to the "States respectively, or to the people" and to localize the solutions (and errors) so less damage is done and so better solutions can be found more quickly.

great summary! I'll have to refer back to it again.... you should post this important info on LinkedIn.
Crowd? Or, mob? Don’t think so.
