Ch 8

Chapter 8 answered the question: if we have so much knowledge why is everything so messed up? The section most interesting to me and most coherent to this question was cut the politicians a break. It was  fascinating to me because I am the type of person who initially asked the question. It seems to simple on paper that if we have all the "right" answers use them, but as I discovered and as Wheelan clarified it's immensely more complicated. Simply he said "we are the special interests." It is ridiculous to try to satisfy every group, but the group that isn't satisfied is inevitably disturbed. It is also simple to think that a government cannot fit all the requirements that people suggest, almost self explanatory. Yet, as Wheelan explains, it is still a continual question.
