Clever Idiots
rule the World,
at least for now.
That is all.

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

Speaking of clever I always like this bit from Barbara Ehrenreich.
"Natural selection, as it has operated in human history, favors not only the clever but the murderous."

pardon the ramble
I got a new jacket from Melania's boutique, with the slogan on the back,"I don't really care, do you?"

Twain would set new quote records- even for him- if still around. Stuff like: "we're either being ruled by smart people putting us on, or imbeciles who mean it" ... or "if voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it" (which Snopes says Twain never actually said, btw) ... And then there was Churchill: "the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter"...

mnaz, I like your comments. Sadly too true.

It is not Trump that worries me so much as his base. The True Believers

A fanatic heart.

Poverty, greed, thieves and liars are always following the scent of money, the more wealth the more following it.

How did we allow this to happen?
