[An Old Man]

Your brother is on to something. In the following sentence you expressed two thoughts:

1. "He is believing that a representative government may not be the best form of government
2. because the electorate just isn't informed enough. "

I am in total agreement with your brother in that the electorate is not well enough informed.

Re #2: The electorate's ignorance is based partially upon the fact that most young people simply do not acquire enough wisdom or experience by the age of 18 to make a decision in their own best interests, let alone one that would be beneficial to the nation. This used to be solved by restricting the right to vote to citizens who had attained the age of 21.

RE #1: Your brothers statement in the first instance, I believe solving the informed electorate problem would result in a different statement from him.

My concern is that to many will make a foolish decision which will result in a bloody conflict between those loyal to the principles of the constitution with those who seek to enslave them.

You were saying — “I am in total agreement with your brother in that the electorate is not well enough informed.”

And a well-informed and evil electorate is probably worse...
