Why Am I Sceptical About Hillary Clinton?
I find nothing appetizing about people that jump on a political bandwagon, especially in an area that I care deeply about.
Clinton, who is reportedly planning to seek the Democratic presidential nomination for the 2008 election, has aligned herself with hardline right-wing Republican senators in order to pressure Congress into researching the impact of electronic media on children.
Games are an art form. Politics does not belong in art.
Flame on.

Why Am I Sceptical About ALL POLITICIANS
A politicians 'job' (at least these days for most high ranking politicians) is to get elected. For the most part they will do anything that achieves this. Every act is analyzed by their highly paid teams to see if the amount of votes gained is more than the amount of votes lost.
Next pub night I will tell you about how I will change the voting systems when I am king of the world (which I will get through a very cheap revolution - nothing as expensive as a presidential election)
Simple solution to all political positions:
Appointment by lottery. Oh yes. You read me right-
Our leaders are chosen randomly from a prequalified group, e.g. over 35 years old, speaks English, not a politician. Not a lawyer.
There, I said it.

Andy - please post your solution :-)
Andrew - sounds very Heinlein to me! I'm for it. I.e. the worst qualified for power are those that seek it...
