America's democracy dementia by STEVEN GREENHUT
Bovard also makes valuable points about the way democracy has become a means to provide credibility to the rulers rather than to elect officials who represent the people. I think of California's gerrymandered system, where not one of 153 legislative races produced a switch in parties in 2004. We aren't choosing between different ideologies so much as anointing the current rigged system.
