A nod to Dodd for the reminder.
A favorite quote:
“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 most 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.” — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (radio version)
I mean, really, when it comes right down to it, is there a more useful phrase to explain politics than “To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem”?
