    The idea, as you are well aware is that the popular opinion can and often should be overriden by the elite, when they think that it's wrong. The majority is not always right.

    Gugi,

    There are two things that stand out to me. One is that there shouldn't be an "Elite" class in this country. I admit there are some people who may have Gulfstream jets and Rolls Royces, but they are no BETTER than any other man in this country! There was no thought that there would eventually be a "Ruling Class" in this country, when The Constitution was ratified! I refer to dinosaurs like Robert Byrd, Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry and Jay Rockefeller. They are Poster Children for term limits! The idea of an "ELITE" class is repugnant to those of us who are Rednecks!
    Second, The majority may not always be right, but they are always the majority! And they have the power to vote a bad politician out of office. It ought to happen on a very regular basis!
