  1. As Douglas Adams said (wittily, but it strikes home a bit) in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:

    One of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them: It is a well known fact, that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. Anyone who is capable of getting themselves into a position of power should on no account be allowed to do the job.
