This is should be required reading for everyone politician today - it feels like we are heading right down this bleak path to oblivion.

I agree whole heartedly!! This book was a great way to pass the time last summer while the kids played at the pool. It is hard to believe it was written so long ago! As for politics, presidents and elected offices in general, I believe it should be more like jury duty than something to campaign for. Anyone who covets the position should be denied out of hand. I believe people should be drug from their beds, kicking and screaming, and forced into public office. This should never have become the popularity contest it is today.
