What I'm saying is that some people who enter politics actually ARE intelligent- Clinton is one, and Kucinich is certainly another shining example- however, to be effective as politicians they must learn to work within a framework for the office that doesn't allow for very much flexibility in approaching problems. I think to attract 'better' politicians, or allow existing ones to really shine, there must be some fundamental changes to the very structure of our government that allow for more creative and cooperative problem-solving. A three-party system is one relatively simple place to begin, since it encourages a LOT more cooperation across the hallways than a 2-party one does. And hey... more parties is more fun!
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Why the majority of politicians are jokes 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 Rating: 5
