<<< No, I have a better sense of humor and a better sense of the absurdity of the situation than to put my faith in any one person. It's a miracle the system works as well as it does.>>>

One person can't do everything, but one person can do an awful lot.

One person can set an example and that could be very powerful.

One person can delegate to 400 people - and if that person can have the respect of 400 top notch people who can in turn appoint 400 top notch people - and at the next level more than 6 million people are only three people removed from that one person.

So that one person becaomes more and more important.

So that we really have to raise the bar on that one person.

Is it too much to ask that that one person have high intelligence, be well read (at a minimum be as well read as you), to have been diligent a whole life time, and to be able to learn from mistakes.

Is that too much to ask?
