Personally I think that members of the human race weren't really cut out for ruling over each other.
Just too imperfect really, with the temptation of abusing their power and influence just being too strong for most, if not all people.

And you would be surprised how many people would crave into abusing their authority, and breaking their own morals, even morals that they are in the job of preaching to the world... Seriously you would be shocked...
but that's another story. I guess when it comes to resisting the temptation of those in power, who have masses of wealth and influence over the world, it is hard to keep ones morals while thinking all the ways one could exploit their new powerful friends. So what if it meant breaking your moral code just this once, but once broken, hard not to be tempted again... bit like the first time breaks the law or uses illegal drugs. big taboo the first time, so easy the second, and before you know it, it all becomes a trend.

But hey this is the way of man, not so heavenly, more heathenly if there is such a word.
But hey, were only human, etc. and all those other excuses that make being a real douche to our victims so much easier....

Nonetheless, i wouldn't like to see any single man or woman in power as a world president.
Instead, i personally would like to see a world unified by numbers, where ideally all inhabitants of the world can vote on what ever they want. perhaps with a complex cloud computing system to take track. If one can be created that can't be hacked.

It's that or some form of super powerful and compassionate AI super computer.
that holds no prejudice towards any one, no matter race, creed or appearance.
Then the world can have peace and ultimate efficiency without bigotry
with the resources of the world being used efficiency and less people have to suffer
because of human selfishness, abuse of given authority and other criminal activities.

Third vote for Ferris.

Yes, but that has no weight in the erections of nominees. :wink:

Fnord for Benevolent Dictator!

It is my wish to:

• Change the name of Washington D.C. to Aspieville.
• Create a cabinet Department of Health & Sex.
• Elimination poverty between the hours of 10:00 pm and 06:00 am.
• Force all crack and meth peddlers to fight in an arena, and the sole survivor goes to prison for life.
• Fully fund faster-than-light research.
• Give all illegal immigrants a free one-way bus ticket to Canada.
• Give every American citizen a free bicycle.
• Make politicians against the law.
• Nationalize America's brothels, so that the revenue would be used to finance the military.
• Pay an annual stipend of $100,000 to any American citizen who reaches his or her 100th birthday.
• Relocate of Los Angeles to Colorado, so that the city's residents can enjoy the fresh air.
• Rip up the city streets with jackhammers to force all transportation to be by foot or bicycle.
• Stop exploitation of America's natural resources by corporations and foreign investors.


WOW!
Certainly a strong platform, Ladies, Gentlemen and others.
A double chest-fist salute to Fnord.

<whispers>
But will the opposition see the chinks in his armour?
For one, he is alienating, errr, aliens.
While WP is Amerikan-centric there is a significant non-Amerikan collective block to consider.
Will the opposition candidates exploit this political faux pas? 8O

For someone who claims to want to outlaw politicians you sure sound like a politician, don't you Mr. Fnord?

*This question brought to you by by #VoteWolfram87*


Oh my!
The first metaphorical punch has landed!
A political rabbit punch by any definition!
(Please, no further animal cruelty)

Will we be seeing a moral degenerations in this political campaign?
The comment suggests we might. 8O

Wait until they start bringing out the sex tapes. 8O

A candidate who sees value in the stick rather than the carrot!
Will the constituency be intimidated into submission or be angered by this political gambit?

L,G&O, we have a high stakes candidate here who is willing to metaphorically throw a make-or-break roll of the dice.
Stay tuned to find out how this risky move will develop.

I don't get a cool poster? :cry: That makes me sad... you have made a powerful enemy! :evil:

I think Isabella's campaign song should be "A Woman's Game" by Karleine.

"Though war is not a woman's game but I know how to play! Yes I can play! Though war is not a woman's game but I know how to play! Just watch me play!"

:skull: :queen: :skull:

Don't forget the time difference, TW1Z. Your noble ferret has konked out in his den. It's T minus something until you get your poster, I'm sure.
