The point is that your "plan" of only electing "competent" leaders is unworkable. First of all, it depends on everyone believing in the same conditions for competence that you do.

Second of all, this plan has zero reseliency. When it fails, what do you do? Just cross your fingers and hope you can survive for four years?

In a decentralized system, incompetent boobs are routed around. Their ability to do damage is naturally limited.

Default 97% accurate!

<font color="green">This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by telephone Oct. 30-Nov. 2, 2005, among a random national sample of 1,202 adults. The results have a three-point error margin. Fieldwork by TNS of Horsham, PA.</font>

I don't know much about the "science" of polling, but 3% error for 1/100,000 of the adult population?

That's trivial considering the ability of manipulation they have on the polls [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

39% Approval. Better still, 55% believe the administration "intentionally misled" the nation about the war.

Story here.

My favorite part is the sidebar box to related stories. Dig these headlines:

Does anyone know what Cheney's Approval rating is? I heard somewhere that it was in the 20's.

Why, I'm glad you asked. In the latest CBS poll, Cheney's favorable/unfavorable numbers were 19/44.
