Quickie before I go, 2/5/15: Democracy Fail In Venezuela

Parapundit

You have to know you are in trouble when gas is selling for less than a penny a gallon and the shelves are bare.  But the people voted for this because they don't know any better.  Hence, the failure.

But can you really blame the people who aren't being educated.  The author advises segregating the able from the incompetent.  That really won't work either.

An average person can understand supply and demand.  Why not teach it as well as a few other things of necessity for a well functioning citizen who can discharge their responsibilities?  It used to be done here, whey can't it be a universal practice?
