    Ah, a brave new world where reason is abandoned in favor of the whim of
    the mob. Pray, who will determine the make up of this "Tribunal of
    People" and enforce their adjudication of truth? Oh, excuse me. I forgot.
    In the brave new world there is no such thing as truth. In the brave new
    world anything goes so long as you get enough people to agree with
    where you want to go. Of course, just how many is "enough" is never
    spelled out. Or is it?
