democracy 

The notion that millions who cannot order their own lives properly are somehow still at least minimally qualified to participate in the ordering of the lives of millions.

Often heard in a democracy: "Hey, where are we going? And what's with this handbasket?"

law school 

Scattered across the nation, they are places where the evil, vicious, and stupid are kept away from decent society for a few years. Not to be confused with prison, though they both have the effect of releasing people in a more disturbed condition than they came in.

It's amazing how similar oral examinations in law school are to going before a parole board.
