A dreamland indeed,
"Running" for office is exactly what I'm against. It should be...
"Testing" for office.
I'd be much more comfortable knowing that the candidate that scored the highest and knows the most would be making decisions.
Just look at American society today, No (good)show competes with WWE. That tells me that more than half TV watching citizens, get there tv kicks from....well....I'm not gonna go there yet.
Second, All TV shows that survive, Must show some skin. Maybe on paper, we like to sound civilized, but the truth?? We are still un-civilized in the head as a whole. Few and far between do I see the truly civilized(for our era) and for the most part, its not from Americans.
