    Every election seasons I hope we can move closer to have more in touch, pragmatic/benevolent and generally smart individuals at the helm.

    In the past we definately had some pretty smart folks running the show, though a good swath of them did not use this for benevolence or pragmatism in the slightest.

    But now it seems we are more or more being saddled with options of mentally deficient options at the highest posts. Some of it because of age, others because they are abusing media (or the media is abusing them).

    Its really sad, and kinda scary. This isnt really a problem with democracy (or republics), it happens all to often in all forms of government, probably even historically moreso in others, but still. Its scary.
