Cindy Sheehan was a Media darling while leading anti-war protests against G.W. Bush. Even bought property near his Ranch to hold protests. Media loved her, then she announced she was running for Pelosi's Seat in the House & her following in the Media took a nose dive. Now she's sitting up a tent in D.C. to lead protests against the War once again, but with a Dem. in Office, will she get much coverage?
 
13th, I agree, but remember:

In theory a democratic government should (through the election system) *represent* society, normal people forming government along what they beliebe; this would make way for amateurs trying to get a handle on ways state is organized.

In fact today the governments of all (democratic) western nations are run by "professional" politicians (many of them decided to go for it when still teens, as a form of "career"), which more often than not leads to the politicians forming societey according to what they believe, in a kind of messia complex expression.

Amateurs built the Arc, professionals built the Titanic, maybe we should keep such things in mind.
