But of course, you are a long term thinking genius with extraordinary insight. And not just you, but several hundred other random individuals who are also posting on this web site. Yes, we all are superior, more able to take a broad view of things, and hence develop a better, more rational strategy and philosophy.
Sounds to me like someone is pining for an oligarchy. You (and lots of others posting this kind of nonsense) are smugly arrogant and confident that you know best. Isn't that what everyone was whining about with the NSA 24 hours ago, and praising that kid who took it on himself to leak secrets because he knew best?
I think there are a bunch of people here who wouldn't mind in the least if the government continued to act in exactly the same kind of allegedly disgraceful fashion so long as the government was doing things they liked. Then you'd respond to any complaints by saying that the rabble rousers just weren't intellectual enough to understand what you were doing, and that it's for their own good so they just have to put up with it.
Do you not see the hypocrisy and sheer arrogance of this?
