  Wilfully eh?
  sarcasm and cynicism?
  I think there is not enough cynicism in the world. If there were then politicians and those in power in other ways might have more to fear from lesser mortals. The only sick game is when you hear politicians being interviewed and managing to get away Scott free with their policies with nodding donkeys pretending to force the truth from them.
  You are suggesting, therefore, that we appeal to authority and let them ride roughshod over us all. That really is sick.
  As far as describing other forumites as pseudo-intellectual smacks of reverse snobbery. How do you suggest they frame their opinions? Would it be better if they were to subtract any flowery and interesting words which help to put across their point and stick to mere facts? (or what they and others consider to be the facts?)
  I suggest you start reading more about current events and what has led up to those events taking place in order to reach a conclusion regarding why you consider the country is in decline. It has little to do with sarcasm I think your'll find.
  PS. Some might consider using the latin QED rather than the English "which was to be demonstrated" equally as pseudo-intellectual.
