............"A better system would be a council of a dozen people of high academic qualifications such as phds in assorted fields from Science to medicine to politics to economics. What we need are people who are independent and have integrity .....
D´acuerdo ..... now that makes good sense.
........."The sad thing is that the Sheeple crave a dictator or Fuhrer, someone they can worship, someone they can give their conscience to, someone who will absolve them of all guilt." You may be right about sheeple craving a dictator but I disagree with you that you can give anyone one´s conscience and be absolved to all guilt. The consequences of that ignorance will catch up sooner or later.
"Thats where we are today. THe people want a fuhrer. And Palin will gladly be their man." God forbid - a future Mrs George Bush!
