I've been developing a pet theory... Think back to Joseph Heller's landmark novel "Catch-22." The basic premise of my theory is this: Any man who aspires to a position of power and influence over others, is not worthy of that power and influence.
As supporting evidence for my theory, just look at the clueless, corrupt, idiotic, power-hungry stuffed shirts in Washington. I mean... by and large they're buffoons who should be rounded up and given a stern verbal reprimand. (hahaha, how's that?)
Our President and other elected leaders should be nominated by the people and then elected by popular vote. In all likelihood the best man (or woman) for the job is someone who has the good sense to not want the job.
This is still a theory in progress but like I said that's the basic premise.
