No. If
the public was smart you would be right. Keep in mind, the public watches the Jersey Shore and The Real Housewives on Bravo. The public can't name 30 states on a map of this country if you take the State names off it and ask them to point to them. The public watches debates to see who 'won' by making a snarky zinger... not to see who was right or who lied the most.
Intelligent people would welcome an immediate result and accept the terms of a true compromise. The public has a very small minority of intelligent people. Most people are idiots and this show is being scripted for the masses unfortunately.
What we have now is a society that placates stupidity and takes advantage of dumb people who are willing to vote against their own interests. What our society ought to do is educate dumb people to the limit of their capacity and protect them (from others and from themselves).
We are not far off from Idiocracy:
And most idiots crave a soap opera more than a solution.
