What Is Wrong With Us?

[HARDCORE]

1-2-2020

The time was when we hired politicians (and other bureaucrats) on the basis of their qualifications, love of country and intellect! Nowadays however, or so it seems to me, we select our leaders on the basis of gimmicks alone?

Some woman dressed in a wet-suit and wading into the shallow surf, or a well-fed entrepreneur inching their way across some sound-stage, seems to be more of a selling point for high public office these days, than anything as trite as candor, truth or a genuine desire to leave our nation better off for their leadership?

“And Just What Do These People Do Once They Are Elected” – now that is a damned good question, for which, I sincerely doubt that anyone has any viable answer! For when I once or twice had the blatant audacity to pose this query to several of these egotistical me-ists (directly or via the media), the outburst (or tantrum, if you prefer) that I was met with, more closely resembled a person who considered themselves royalty (or even a cat in heat), than a servant of the public trust and for this, “I Blame We The People”, for it is “Us And No One Else” that drives home this fallacy, while upholding the misguided premise that with election to public office, also comes selection to the nobility, and not the opportunity to serve the public’s will! Until that day comes when “What We Want And Demand Of A Few Within Our Own Government - Means Absolutely Nothing At All To Them!!”
