Dear Politicians

This is as political as I will get, and it nicely sums up my views:

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.
- Douglas Adams, from "Restaurant at the End of the Universe".

It's election year and I wish it was over already.  Career politicians worry me, and people are a problem.
