Of course they're not the best, but in a system that relies on majority rule it was never intended to have only the best people elect our leaders. The idea was that the leaders would be elected by the majority of ALL the people.
When I was a kid I remember my dad saying that any government elected by majority, is guaranteed to be a government of mediocrity. I sometimes wonder if he might have been overly optimistic. ....... Coot

I think he was right. Looking at the way voting has gone in the last 60 years I think it needs to be fixed. That is why I asked the original question.
They take voting rights away from convicted felons and mentally ill people so I wonder why they have excluded these 2 groups of people.

Too many in one tent is asking for trouble. Hell, too many in one state is bad enough. So I've been told. I wouldn't know. ;)

I was allowed to keep my sense of humor because it was damaged. "Warped" was the term used. What the hell. We're still great friends. I just wish she would marry some rich guy that can do all the honey- do's. Can't seem to find a guy that knows a drill from a shovel. I do still have the washer and dryer, double door 'fridge, nice hardwood entertainment center, another laptop, and a few TV's that I let her use since I don't need them for now. Hell, I guess it's time to start a new thread. If my Yorkie were still alive I'd killed her for custody. And my camera gear. Screw the rest. :thumbup:
