I think the essential problem consists of having idiots in high positions of power who are convinced that they are geniuses. They tend to be incapable of coming up with any solutions to a problem other than those which caused the current problem to begin with. If taking drug X causes you to be sick…the answer is to take more of it.

And who are these wonderful people who are entitled to rule us all? Oftentimes its a family business. In New England it is the Holy Kennedies. In Alaska it is the House of Murkoswi.

Its time to throw them all out of office so they can go back to doing things that will provide society with the highest social utility they can provide–selling crack or their crotches to anyone with a $5 bill.
