#2 a deeper struggle between elected and unelected officials, between open and closed systems, between freedom and tyranny,

What I wanted to say in my rant yesterday.

#5 The weak link in this chain is the media. Franklin, Jefferson et al knew that the only way to prevent a modern-era democracy from devolving into tyranny was through an independent and vigorous press.

What we have now instead is an auxiliary wing, a shock troop corps, of the political process.

All the social media nonsense is nothing more than a higher-velocity version of the immemorial arts of slander, innuendo, half-truths, tall tales and outright lies.

We need to amend and update the libel laws for this new environment.
