generalripper: The country's finally sunk to that point: the government is stupid, the majority of people whom it represents are stupid, and the only way to save America is for the minority of smart people to take away the privileges the stupid people should never have been granted to begin with, starting with voting, jury service, and the ability to file lawsuits for anything but grievous physical trauma resulting from a totally unprovoked attack.
You forgot to include the need to apply for a license to reproduce. There's too many idiots already out there, who release even more idiot children into the world. *le sigh*

Yes, YES ! It is finally time for the philosophers to take over and steer the society into a better tomorrow...

Philosophers? No. But surely Europe can spare a Habsburg. You didn't see them allowing this sort of crap, and Europe doesn't seem to be using theirs at the moment.

generalripper: Philosophers? No.
Why not ? You specifically singled out intelligent people - that goes hand in hand with philosophers ruling the country, as suggested by quite a few philosophers, historically ;P...

In a twisted way - you are right. As soon as you're demoted to being a second-class citizen, you'll stop complaining. Mind you - mostly because you'll no longer have a say in public affairs ;P.

Actual philosophers have the disadvantage of not being bred to rule.

...as for having a say in public affairs: that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Giving 'the common man' a say in public affairs has brought on the politicization, regulation, and taxation of every imaginable sphere of life. I merely write what I see: the European monarchs had a high degree of self-restraint compared to the present-day voting public and the tools they elect to office. Making people politically free has made them less free in fact.

"The absolute ruler may be a Nero, but he is sometimes Titus or Marcus Aurelius; the people is often Nero, and never Marcus Aurelius."

We breed philosophers? You mean there's potentially a cure? Can we isolate the gene?

I know that likely wasn't intentional, but I love how you instinctively side with the Marcus Aurelius, the "philosopher on the throne", being the shining example of a good ruler ;P.

"Was the Nutella lawsuit ridiculous?"

IMO, yes.
