"Representative government, if you bother to think about it, is really a huge joke. It is difficult for anyone to represent me accurately, even someone such as a lawyer or a real estate broker whom I have commissioned and who reports to me regularly. What chance is there that a complete stranger, who "represents" not only me but hundreds of thousands or even millions or hundreds of millions of other heterogeneous strangers, actually represents me, they, or indeed anyone at all besides himself? The whole idea is preposterous. It is the most gossamer veil ever devised to cover the nakedness of political illegitimacy." - Robert Higgs, Economist, Historian, Dachsund enthusiast
