In my heart, i am a libertarian.
In my brain, im not stupid enough to believe that the general public is smart enough to make it work.
sounds like you are stupid enough.
An accurate rejoinder would be "In my brain, I am not stupid enough to believe that the market is an omniscient omnipotent God that makes everything perfect in all places and all times, in the absence of public input. I am not stupid enough to think that individuals and corporations are perfect benevolent actors that can do no wrong, because doing wrong always means making less profits and doing good always means more profits" FTFY
