Lee--<<We were intended to elect people that could make rational decision...regardless of the emotion of the moment.>>
Lets be honest now. How far are we from that? We have devolved into a system that is designed to present a package to the electorate. A carefully honed load of BS, BS formed in back rooms, deodorized and then presented in 30 second or one minute ad spots, and all based on money. Money to get the 'message' out. A message that was developed according to the latest demographics.
Our system elects the most well heeled campaigner who comes across as most charismatic. Getting the most capable leader is left out of the equation. I saw people calling our two real choices as tweedle dee and tweedle dum. Then actually griping because the American people couldn't definitively chose between them. We have so many electioneering hoops set up that they dance the same dance to conform to them.
<<but do you want you destiny controlled by someone that would type Go XXXX on some stock board?>>
Not one bit do I like that idea but instead my destiny is to be controlled by someone who cheated on his National Guard duty and was busted for drunk driving or someone who invented the internet. And which one of them I get is going to be determined first by a judge, then quite possibly some people who couldn't fill out a ballot I thought pretty damn simple. So just how am I somehow better off for it and avoiding an election idiocy?
All the Best
