Democracy is Too Much Work

I am reading Democracy in America?: What Has Gone Wrong and What We Can Do About It

This does a good job of describing the problems with democracy - the same problems that have existed for thousands of years - plus the problem with financing elections, that we acquired with Television.

It does not say much about the difference between what people say they are going to do - and what they actually do. Or between their conscious mind and their unconscious mind - two different minds, that do not communicate very well.
