The Economist in its April 23rd edition (hey I'm behind;-) has
an absolutely fantastic special report on California and democracy. The special report is of much broader relevance to understanding issues of democracy more generally, and particularly the tensions between direct rule by the people and other forms of democratic governance. The special report will be required reading in my fall graduate seminar.

Let's see now... California has government by referendum, and irresponsible legislating by the ballot box has sent the state to hell in a handbasket. Whereas, the federal government does not have government by referendum and the country is going to hell in a handbasket.
So what was that take-home message again?
