In regards to the people of a nation electing those that best reflect themselves, look at the common denominator as being greed. Whoever promises the most goodies, whether it's*tax cuts* for the rich, *free* health care or an Obama phone, gets elected. Just find what the most people will accept in exchange for their vote, offer it and the office is yours, whether you can deliver or not because you *cared*.

Having grown up very familiar with national politics, I have had to wean myself away from viewing these people as leaders - I would find it unbearable to promise everything to people, while giving them so little. Very low character and consciousness, in so many of these politicians. I recall the Movement line, about the leaders of a country being the innocent reflection of the people - and I have to wonder about that -- So much money and power is behind an election, so the choice of candidates is always limited to those few who are vetted by the wealthy and powerful. Acquiring wealth and power calls for a specific skill-set and interest, that is not necessarily reflective of the people in a country, as a whole. Wanting mega-wealth and power, is a desire to leverage one's needs, over an entire population - controlling others. Having the masses act according to the values of a few, is at the heart of it. So, can we honestly say that those who wish to control us, are simply each one of us, in such a position? I don't think so. Perhaps one of these days - but not yet, and certainly not here, in the US. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : On 06/28/2014 07:01 AM, 'Richard J. Williams' punditster@...
