GerberIt is not true that the American System purposely eltecs people who are less intelligent. The first President was an elite General from Virginia. The Second President was a Lawyer from Massachusetts. The Third and Fourth Presidents were intellectuals from Virginia. In the beginning we elected people based on intellect. Recently, President George W. Bush was insulted for being an idiot, President Barack Obama was elected with people thinking him to be an intellectual. It is not a purposeful occurrence to elect leaders who are not intelligent. In the beginning, leaders were both intelligent and seen to be so. Now, Leaders are just seen as intelligent. However, it is not an intent to elect dumb leaders. It is like the drunk who wakes up with the girl from last night. When he was in the drunkenness of the moment, she was beautiful and amazing, but when he sobers up, she is nothing more then an ugly drunk. The leaders we elect we like to believe are great, but, in the end, merely reflect ourselves. The beginning of this nation consisted of people who were politically intelligent, thus the representatives were likewise. Now, we THINK we are politically intelligent, but in truth, we are the drunk. We elect leaders whom we think are better, but turn out to reflect ourselves. And yet, we do not even think to change who WE are.
