"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job." ~Douglas Adams.

The reason I put that quote up first was to focus this rant on what it is I actually have to say. Ethically, anyone who wishes to rule, is not a fit candidate for any position of leadership. It's akin to placing a paedophile as director of a children's home. Is it workable to avoid this dilemma? Probably not. Those of our citizenry that are wise enough, educated enough, and energetic enough to lead us without thinking primarily of themselves are also completely uninterested in doing so. Forcing them into the position is in itself unethical. We find ourselves in a sticky situation, our leaders do not have our best interests at heart, and those who would have the best interests of the majority at heart are completely incapable of being elected.

We need people that feel a duty to lead, but have no ambition to do so, and yet those very people are the least likely to step forward when we look for candidates. Partially this is a modern problem caused by the need for excessive sums of money to even be able to get the word out that a person should be considered for the positions, partially it is the nature of power that it corrupts those who begin with these intentions making them no better than what we already have. Is there a solution? I honestly don't know, but I fear for the future of this world if we don't find one.

While I am an American, this isn't an American problem. This one effects every nation, we are all stuck with leaders who want power, and don't have any intentions of using it for the betterment of mankind.

If you read this far, your lucky numbers are 13, 42, 6, 23, and 10.

Thank you for letting me waste a few minutes of your time.
