From the back cover:

If you feel that the world is a mess, and that perhaps you, too, are a mess -- welcome

A democracy is governed by persons who are elected by the average and the foolish and perhaps a few of the wise. Such people are sometimes called 'the People's Choice'

It seems to me that a large majority of the citizens in any country are actively dissatisfied with the way things are being 'run'; with present governments, discontent seems to be the rule, rather than the exception. As I think about all this I find myself amazed that I and all the other people in the world have put up with such childish forms of government for so long.

How could we have been so stupid?
