The very concept of using experience, knowledge, and good judgment as a basis for decision making has been suppressed by today’s authority figures: it might give people the idea of questioning the motives, and the competence, of those same authorities. Wisdom has been relegated to the sphere of family and social relationships; and used as a mouthpiece for the “gentler” side of dictatorial thinking. Do you think it wise to give up our protection from tyranny; so that our government has the power to overturn any human right that blocks their will? Using your experience, knowledge, and good judgment; do you think they’re going to give it back?
