I believe they will too if they find the right mentors in business. I never give up hope. The Wet Nurse had Hank Readon.

I do understand your objection but there can be no intelligence in government if the voters are as dumb as a stump.
I can see how well universal suffrage works. Two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner.
I think Robert Heinlein understood the problem...
"I had better quote Jubal Harshaw, who lived through it. He said to me, "the America of my time line is a laboratory example
of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies
throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a 'warm body' democracy in which every adult may
vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. It depends solely on the
wisdom and self-restraint of citizens...which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other
citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote
in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own
self-interest as he sees it...which for the majority translates as 'Bread and Circuses.'
" 'Bread and Circuses' is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure.
Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm
body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the
plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive
members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its
weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader--the barbarians enter Rome."
Jubal shrugged and looked sad. "Mine was a lovely world--until the parasites took over."

and

"there seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had
become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of
importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and
they took themselves just as seriously--after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he
knows he is important...so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important,
too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his
mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)
Consider these:
1) "Bread and Circuses";
2) The abolition of the pauper's oath in Franklin Roosevelt's first term;
3) "Peer group" promotion in public school.
These three conditions heterodyne each other. The abolition of the pauper's oath as a condition
for public charity insured that habitual failures, incompetents of every sort, people who can't support
themselves and people who won't, each of these would have the same voice in ruling the country, in
assessing taxes and spending them, as (for example) Thomas Edison or Thomas Jefferson, Andrew
Carnegie or Andrew Jackson. Peer group promotion insured that the franchise would be exercised
by ignorant incompetents. And "Bread and Circuses" is what invariably happens to a democracy that
goes that route: unlimited spending on "social" programs ends in national bankruptcy, which
historically is always followed by dictatorship."

It is not about the question itself. Is about the collectivist bent answers kids are giving these days.
If a growing number of innocent kids can be programmed by leftist to be evolved followers of a Marxist cult showing almost no cognative dissonance even on this evidently obvious question, where will the future of society be led?
It won’t be utopia.

Let alone making the assumption that she might want to go out with me. That was stressful enough when I was young I can't imagine adding all these new layers to the equation.
