I might have to remember "pediocracy", though. It seems as though that word could be used to describe far too many governments these days... including, to an increasing degree, ours.

Or at least an alternate form of clueless. One formally liberal friend describes <a href="http://www.joehuffman.org/RKBAElite/Understanding.htm" rel="nofollow">this as a "pediocracy" with government as a Mommy</a> (see the bottom of the page). Mommy can have guns but kids cannot. Linoge,

They are positively pants-wetting <em>horrified</em> at the thought of the public owning firearms, but when the government has firearms and imposes its will on people sometimes at the muzzle of those firearms, the hoplophobes in question are <em>remarkably</em> supportive, and almost sycophantish.

They ban the guns to create subjects, and also in the increase in violent crime creates fear as well as dependency of the government (who have machine guns)which further allows them to increase their power and oversight. Not on my damn watch! Again it’s not about guns, its about control.
