This is the problem that occurs when Experts (ie: book worms who have no real-world experience) speak on issues. They know the technical side but have little grasp on what is happening in the real world.

Please expand on your definition of the "real world". They way you phrase it, it is insinuating that some how I'm out of touch with reality and don't know what I'm talking about. As far as I know, there is only one "world" and we all live in it.
And in the end, it's the technical part that governs our lives. What do you think Law is based on? Opinion?
I'm no expert. I happen to have studied our base government system and believe people are voting one way expecting something that in reality (or as I call it, the "real world") doesn't exist.
