Not the case now

Enjoyed reading your post. It is a shame that we who understand and are realistic are so few against the masses of either naive utopians or worse, ignorant people who do not bother to research facts and form an opinion for themselves. Instead they look to movie stars, celebrities and talk show hosts to tell them what to think, how to vote and what is right and wrong. You would think that with the ubiquity of the internet, more people would be informed. Alas, they are only informed about what star is doing what to whom or what star is wearing such and such.
