Shortly after, theoreticians deduced, mathematically proved, and published the Uncertainty Principle. America's political system, as exemplified by the way our primaries are held, has reached much the same point. Measurement of what is happening is seriously disturbing both the process and the results. To illustrate what I mean, ten or more TV crews follow the hot candidates around, effectively isolating them from interaction with the voters. Staged video strips become the norm.
Candidates are unable to determine the basic issues troubling voters.
Voters aren't able to meet with, interrogate, and draw valid conclusions about the candidates. These conditions prevail all over the country, but are uniquely protrayed in the snows of New Hampshire. Candidates complain, voters complain, and even anchormen comment how intractable the problem has become. Democracy depends on an intelligent, perceptive electorate understanding the issues and people for whom they are voting, then making informed judgments. Religions have as their very soul and basis, a deep, abiding, and serene faith.
