“
the question is not ‘how do we get good people into power?’ the question is; how do we limit the damage the powerful can do to us? most people attracted to power are, at best mediocre, like Obama, or venal, like George W. Bush…
It is not our role to take power, it is our role to make those with power frightened of us, and that’s what we’ve forgotten…
