Well researched, well reasoned and well written!
Thanks! There's a lot of information at that site.
We all have to make judgements in life with imperfect information, especially when voting. That's why we are supposed to find people worthy of such difficult choices with the job of gathering information to execute reasoned judgements. Given that we cannot be there possessing sufficient authority to keep them from wrongdoing, there must be a remedy to limit or undo the damage done, which starts with the motivational architecture within which they operate to constrain the temptations of power.
We obviously have a problem there.
