Yes, Musket... But it goes further than equal stakes... Equal information is a biggie... Most people will make the correct choice if presented the correct information...

A good example of this is global warming... 98% of climatologists believe it is real and a result of man's activities... 2% of climatologists - and I'd like to see their real credentials - believe that climate is cyclical and that what we are seeing is just a coincidence...

Guess who gets 98% of the BIG MEDIA microphone time??? You would think the 98% but, in reality, the 98% have been all but blackballed by BIG MEDIA and therefore what people get is the 2%'s narrative over and over and over until...

...half the people believe the 2% and, therefore, we do not have adult conversations - as in democracy - that we could and should be having...

On just about any issue that faces our country we are having the wrong conversation because we are not using correct information...

That's what a corrupt democracy looks like...
