It's very un-American to SAY nice THINGS about elites. Elites are often terrible. It's not LIKE we've ever had a perfect SET of benevolent DEMOCRATIC elites ruling over our country. But the fact of the matter is that a representative system of democracy delegates power to elites.

I COULD never go into POLITICS, because I'm far too IMPATIENT and I'd WANT to be a DICTATOR, albeit a benevolent one... I would hope.

We can't WAIT until elections to fight for what we care about. We can't hope for a BENEVOLENT leader who may choose to LISTEN to us. We need a network that lets the best ideas and LEADERS rise to the TOP through an open, inclusive democratic process.
