Why do people vote against their own interests?

This article appeared on the BBC news website today, having been broadcast on Radio 4 this week. This perceptive observer explains that in order to succeed in the US political arena, the candidates with logic on their side must behave as reprehensibly as the anti-logic parties, by so doing appealing to the largest number of voters. Unfortunately though, the people to whom a reasoned argument appeals won't want to vote for them...this is great for comedians, not so great for citizens.

Perhaps what we need is a national wife, not a "leader": someone who can quietly keep everything running, and is smart enough to let a fool go on thinking he is "right" & that he is running the show when he is not, and that everything is his idea.
I suspect our problems are more chemical than ideological, or anything else. Reduce the testosterone levels to bare minimum, and see if things don't improve.

I'm Looking Through You

The Death of Money – Part Three

I remember an Orson Welles Mercury Theatre programme in which he read, among other things, some selections from George Washington’s Farewell Address. At best this is a rough paraphrase, but the gist of what he said is,
“If future citizens of the American Republic ever want for anything, or are unhappy for any reason, they can search across the known universe and find no one to blame but themselves.”
That particular bit may not in fact have been from Washington’s letter to the nation, but whatever its origin, it has stayed with me for years and resonates as the US dollar declines with each passing day. With it goes the USA’s position in the world. We have shopped ourselves and warred our nation over a cliff, and we can’t imagine what will break when we hit the bottom.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote these words right about the time the last US silver coins were withdrawn from circulation :

I'm looking through you
where did you go?
I thought I knew you
what did I know?
You don't look different
but you have changed.
I'm looking through you
you're not the same.
