Posner gets it right

It isn't just that Judge Posner gets it exactly right when the points out what a bad idea "Deliberation Day" would be (a day before an election where people would get together and debate the issues of the day), but that he puts across his point of view in such a pointed, yet playfully mischievous tone. In my view, anyone who thinks that reasoned debate can lead to a well informed consensus simply has not been exposed to much intellectual diversity.
