Re: Mind's Eye Re: An Icon Dies

We need less sentimentality re our elections- they have become
popularity contests sprinkled with celebrities, media bias, appeal to
base or selfish interests, etc. We also need serious, educated voters
which diminishes with universal sufferage and all the axes grinding
away. I do think there are honest people concerned about the general
welfare. Another correction should be term limits. The general disgust
with politicians is widespread but we get the government we deserve or
settle for. Would private wealth guarantee an honest politician or
would power be just as corrupting. (You could also rant about
scientists who have thus far failed to cure the ills of humanity.)
