Default Re: Should Mild Preferences Have Equal Weight?

I just want to comment that nobody has realized that smart doesnt mean altruistic.

of course, being altruistic does not immediately imply that you understand how to go about helping other people. And this also brings up a more complex question on the nature of government.
if we assume that the term "smart" implies that a person is best equipped intellectually to consider the pros and cons of his decisions than these people are making more logical decisions at the polls than most.
