There are tons of examples of people, or groups of people, who know what's in my best interest better than me.

Plumbers, electricians, Generals, attorneys, tax specialists, my parents, cops, even bar tenders.

And ya, legislators too. I don't know jack about most foreign relation matters, and I'm a highly educated and informed person. I shouldn't be deciding those questions. I mean sure, if I spent the time learning about the issue, I could make a good choice. But I dont want to be a legislator.

Am I a better person to decide what clothes I should buy? Ya, that decision requires no input from others, and is purely personal taste. But even something like food...my doctor tells me what to eat all the time. Frankly, I'm not smart enough...or don't have the time...to figure that out alone
