"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 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."
-- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
