Does anybody else remember a time when the President determined what was important to
the country and not a bunch of TV talking heads? When we looked to 'experts' or those who were trained in a given field for advice and not anonymous commeters on the internet?

1. Annonimity is not the best.
No real reason for it.

However the real problem comes when a system decides who the experts are, and those experts pick who is in the system.

After a while it is a pretty shallow gene pool.


Although some have really good motives, and do good, they get in a mind set separate from reality from being in a bubble of their own groups.
