I've been thinking about this lately...the overwhelmingly vast majority of the leaders we elect are idiotic, pompous stooges, mindlessly obedient to whatever social norms or fucked-up status quos happen to be in place, incapable of innovative thought or political discourse.

I think true intellectuals or thinkers intimidate the public. Noam Chomsky should be the president of the United States, but he'd never get elected, because he has a mind that's actually capable of questioning the moronic presuppositions that govern the lives of those who do get elected. I also think a nation's philosophical geniuses, the artists, poets, etc. who are most fit to determine policy, are not typically people who desire power or domination the way those who run do. I honestly believe that candidates run to stroke their own egos, prove something to Daddy, compensate for their microscopic dick...whatever. They're a bunch of pretentious toddlers who think they know a thing or two but really need to be smothered.

My dream would be a ballot boycott in which all of a country's voters refuse to sanction the leadership of such slaves to custom and demand that somebody who actually knows how to think be put forward. But alas, it'll never happen, of course....people see two stooges presented to them and assume that one must be decent...the voter completes the Three Stooges, naturally.
