As democracy is perfected, the [Presidency] represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
- H. L. Mencken

#22 He sounds like a link to NSFW site.

For that matter, to each his own on #24.

I have this great Idea for a new form of government! Essentially, instead of having voting, we all just flip coins. Time to elect a president? Flip a coin! Need to pass a bill? Flip a coin? Want to declare war? Flip a coin! Rolling dice is also an acceptable alternative.

How would you choose a president solely by a coin flip? You'd have to only have 2 candidates for it to work but in America every primary season we have probably 1,000 primary candidates.

You'd just flip, and whoever won would be flipped against someone else, all the way to the two finalists. You'd only use 500 pennies.

You could probably even just use the same penny and flip it multiple times.

...how? There is much to much partisan conflict for our leader to represent the soul of our country. I would say the same about Biden if he won. I'm just saying that we are very far from that utopia.

It is a clever little saying: Dr. Frankenstein built a being out of different pieces, this creature is usually called the 'monster'. Many people think that the monster's name is Frankenstein, so the saying means that 'Knowing that Frankenstein wasn't the monster' is knowledge, but goes on to say that Dr. Frankenstein was really a monster for building the poor creature ...... and if you think that, then that is wisdom.

Both the Frankenstein and "monster" created by him can be classified as monsters. Frankenstein made a creature, which was destined to be alone, and he wouldn't do anything about it, which made the "monster" bring to dead his creator and creator's family.

The problem with #23 is that it assumes that the will of the people is static when it's fluid and ever-changing. We might make some strides, but it will never be perfected. Got to say, though, we certainly don't have a shortage of morons.
