In article <983d6g$num$1@news.btv.ibm.com>, darthspacey at microsith.com says...This kind of namby-pamby election reform was all well and good for the 20th centruy, but if America is to be able to stand up for itself in the coming world order it will hardly suffice. The President should APPOINT HIMSELF to the nation's highest office after CRUSHING all opposition with his LEAD PIPE. The President will secure the loyalty of the nation's communications industry after news coverage of his exploits gets higher ratings than all other programming, including so-called 'reality TV' shows like 'SURVIVOR'. Only then he (along with his elite cadre of sycophants and toadies) will be ready to TAKE ON THE WORLD.who isn't going to mention the whole "anyone who actually *wants* to be president should on no account be allowed to do so" bit...The Presidenture should be appointed by a Board of Elders and be subject to annulment by popular vote after 3 months in office. The Elders can be trained Political Scientists with shaven heads and white robes who take a vow of impartiality like a Fair Witness in "Stranger", and make it their business to follow "Politicks" and report their activities to the public via Modern Computer-Networking.
