Reply #17: Most people are smarter than I am.

Most people are smarter than I am (I've often thought that the tired paraphrase, "this is such a dumb country" is merely an attempt at advertising to those around us how clever we think we ourselves are..."self-validation" is the hand-me-down Freudian term, I think)

Because of that, I'm forced to put my faith (classical definition-- trust in something of which I do not have absolute knowledge in) into those people that I believe to be smarter and more knowledgeable than I, and posses the same general perceptions on agenda, solutions, and morality.

Pres. Elect Obama just happens to be one of those people.



Regardless, I disappoint myself far more often than any administration ever has... :P
