I think that our smartest people should stay out of the government and stay in buisness. Seriously, if all our brains are in the government, who'll make the few product we actually MAKE in the U.S.? Also, I thought the statement was false, since if we try to change human behavior, that's like psychological monarchy.

True. Not related to the discussion, but true. NOBODY LIKES A TYRANT.

And the tyrant is figurative. I'm not saying that the government is a tyrant.

I both agree and disagree, What if the new selected government was a bunch or pietists? Would you want to have to follow their religion? Or would you rather have your own opinion and your own voice? But i also agree because, if a person from a lower class were to become a prat of government then they would know how we feel in term of money. So many people are losing their homes and everything that have woked for because we are lacking jobs and the money to pay employees.

I agree with you. Humans are stubborn by nature. Not even shock collars and other things like that will stop them.

They could if they had a reason to chage their behaviors. Being able to support your opinion with a lot of facts is important and if they have that, then they have everbody on their side.

They should stay out of the government but have half and half one normal person and one smart person to even things out. They could help each other or fight about things, you never know with people these days.

Yes they can! You could get the people to do what you want, when you want. You just have to play it smart so they don't figure out what your trying to do. If you use the right info things will change.

I think it is better for smarter people to be in the government because they can come up with better ways to find better laws. Easyest essay so far Mr. Degner.

I felt that the "Smartest" people should stay out of government... What if they made laws in favor of themselves and other high wage (or possibly low wage company)? That could prove to be counter productive.
