True...and to be fair I wasn't talking about everyone. I was generalizing...as was Hamilton. You'll note he didn't say that every man in the country was dim witted.
And yes it's true that sometimes the mass gets it right, but I think that sometimes we need to step back and think objectively rather than just go with what the media and government says. I think especially now in an American environment that is rather infamous for red herring attacks rather than real discussions that taking that step back is important.
The man who said that was Alexander Hamilton and I don't remember the exact quote (I'll look for it)...but I also think Jefferson said something along the same lines about who should be allowed to vote and who shouldn't.
