From beyond the grave
Some interesting political commentary I came across in last night’s reading of ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ (‘The Restaraunt at the End of the Universe,’ to be exact):
The major problem – one of the major problems, for there are several – one of the 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 must 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.
Yes, Mr. Adams. People are definitely a problem.
