Anyone wonder why this blog has this name?

"kakistocracy"   the rule by the LEAST worthy, LEAST fit, LEAST honorable.
And, generally, by the least accountable.

Like many, I grew up thinking that "rule" implied the pageantry of position.  The trumpets (and strumpets sometimes) that went along with the dukes baron, czars, etc. that we associate with the Romanovs of Russia, the Bourbons of France, the series of dynasties in China, Egypt, and England and Imperial Japan, and the like.  The crowns and parades and castles and such.  That is true, but only up to a point.
"Rule" means power.  And sometimes that power is  exerted openly and publicly.  Sometimes it's not.

And power in this case doesn't mean electrical power or steam power or the like, not power in the sense that a physicist or mechanical engineer would use it.  Power means the ability to order the lives of other human beings.  And sometimes it is exerted by those who prefer to remain faceless and anonymous, being both unelected and unaccountable, as surely as any czar ever was.

Think me wrong? 
Give me the name and photograph of the person who decreed the "allowable" volume of the flush tank on your toilet.  Can you?  Unlikely..
Who decreed the allowable designs of the bulbs that light your kitchen, bath, or living room?  Doing any better?
Who is it who decided what the "allowable", even required, miles per gallon rating on a new car must be?  Or that your gasoline must contain a certain percentage of the ethanol that is destroying the engine while also causing soil damage and higher prices for corn around the world?  Who is it who decreed that public schools must include in their curricula praise for homosexuality and Islam, while damaging the teaching of arithmetic, history, handwriting, and reading, while also hindering the ability to maintain order?

We've seen, just in the last 10 days, unelected judges in the most overruled court in the nation, decree that persons living in other nations have the same rights under the US Constitution as do American citizens, pulling said ruling out of the neither regions of their alimentary canal.  And who regard honest disagreement as being criminal "hate speech".

Ruling by decree might have been accepted, grudgingly, under the Bourbons, Romanovs,  or Tudors.  It is incompatible with pretensions of self government under a written Constitution.
