We have been educated and brainwashed to believe we "need" politicians (royal families, shady executives and financial thieves, etc.) to get "things" done just as immigrants were strong-armed that they needed "protection" from the mafia and hoodlums in order to safeguard their businesses and families. For that matter, many educators are little more than baby/young adult sitters and knowledge can be aquired without their dubious assistance- they issue a degree that proves nothing.//On the other hand, I hate to tweak your already fragile mood- so cheer up, mate, and have a good week!
