Uhg this is what happens when stupid people (and I mean that in the low IQ way) vote.

Yeah I understand the ethical reasoning in limiting rights for certain groups and populations (which is wrong), but it still does not change the fact 95% of the population would not be suitable for running an organization that is responsible for millions of people, so how can we expect them to make properly educated and informed decisions. Can we expect politicians to give us the straight truth? No, at least not unless there is laws that force politicians to live up to campaign promises or face being automatically kicked out, which wont happen.

Governments need to be run more like corporations, people best suited for the job will be selected by people who are actually knowledgeable and experienced in their respective field. Obviously the first reaction that will be is how can you make the government responsible to the people that they represent but they were not elected by. This is not a simple problem but it can be dealt with links to performance metrics - if the person is not meeting their standardized and agreed upon targets, they're out. The government would be responsible to their shareholders as any publicly traded company is, only difference is how we measure the performance of the organization (ie multitude of portfolio based performance metrics versus Stock price and earnings)

I'm assuming I'll get alot of flak for this, nor would you EVER be able to garner public support for it, but hey this is the internet, a home for ridiculous ideas.
