IMO mistrusting the Government is a very healthy behavior. The Gov is run by people, and people are subject to failure. I also think that the way our government is elected draws the exact people we should be keeping FAR AWAY from power.

I read a sci-fi story once where the way their governement was elected was to make a list of all the people who were qualified yet who DIDN'T want to be in government, pick a name from that list for every post, and FORCE those people to server for a term.

IMO - that's the IDEAL method to choose a government. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wanting to be President should AUTOMATICALLY disallow you from the selection process... because no one in their right mind would EVER want that job.
