The problem with politics is, even if your guy has only great intensions, is always right, and would only do what is good for everyone. He will only be in office a limited amount of time, and the powers you grant him will then pass to the next guy, who may be a complete turd.


I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
