Like it or not, all domestic dogs are simply mutant little wolves.. Of course you don't need to tell the dogs this --they already know they are mini wolves, just ask any terrorized neighborhood squirrel!! And like all good pack animals, canines look for leadership within their group--accepting the alpha female and male will set the rules, stay calm and keep the pack out of harms way. Does the pack come together and try to "out vote" the alpha? No it doesn't. They already know that the "collective will of the wolves" may not get the pack far.
Humans, on the other hand, don't get this logic at all.
We like to *pretend* that humans are all rational, good, intelligent creatures with amazing decision making capacities! Yes! Let's follow the will of the people and see where this goes...
Well it goes something like this: organize a "democratic online vote" to choose a name for a scientific research ship. What do you get?? Boaty McBoatface.
Or how about ask a state with more horny men citizens than women to elect a governor, what do you get ?? Sarah Palin.
Then ask a bunch of angry white republicans to vote for a candidate, and of course you get the Trumpster.
The will of the people is crazy and immature. Why do we have an obesity and diabetes crisis in the USA? Because people can't keep their hands off sugar. They aren't overdosing on broccoli and poached salmon, now are they?? (Addicted to cauliflower--story at 11:00!)
And what ever happened to educational TV?? Replaced by porn.
That's a true democracy folks. Home of the Kardashians and deep fried twinkies...
