Judging from our last president over here in U.S. it occurs to me that the truly elite (educated,scientific,philosophical,well spoken) folks don't really aspire to be in politics or government.So we are stuck with a lot of C and D students who do things like go home at the end of their day of starting the most disastrous war in our recent history and watch reruns of "married with children" and most likely sleep well at night.There is plenty of demand for better leadership on this rock it's just that Jr. is in line for the next spot.I guess this is all supposed to be passe since Obama was elected.Toto,i think we're still in Kansas(or Texas) for sure,lol.
