Stupid People, and Other Arguments for Limited Government
Clayton E. Cramer "Wild, bizarre, unbelievable conspiracy theories are a huge problem in every society. This isn’t a new problem, either. It is one of the stronger arguments for limited governmental power. If most of the population buys into bizarre, strange, or even profoundly dangerous foolishness, there is a limit to the amount of damage that the majority can cause if the government’s power is limited."...."The strongest argument for a government of limited powers is that you should never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."
