Interesting Point^ I'm generally in favor of smaller national and more robust local government, so I can't say I'm a huge fan of all democratic policies but I can't disagree with his point on it being a tautology.
I am a fan of Jon Stewart. I believe he honestly wants what's best for humanity. Watch the whole thing if you have a chance. A couple of my favorite points start at:
In regard to 24 hour media - https://youtu.be/Da5VYSPsoE0?t=25m34s
Corruption and Human Indecency of Politicians - https://youtu.be/Da5VYSPsoE0?t=29m46s
Executive Order Inefficiency and Democrats Faults - https://youtu.be/Da5VYSPsoE0?t=37m
Curious to know what you may think about any of his points.
