Process fixes are fine and dandy. But they are no substitute for what we’re really lacking: knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom, and CHARACTER in those who represent us. of the citizenry as a whole

. A "fix" with which I would expect you would have little disagreement. The real solution is to break down the government/mass-media educational monopoly.

You’re correct. No disagreement at all.

In the end, the whole responsibility falls on the sovereign, which in the case of America is We the People.

If the sovereign’s ministers are failing to do their job, a wise sovereign gets new ministers.
