Quote
We must treat the practice of politics the same way we treat the practice of medicine. Unskilled politicians have no more place in politics than unskilled doctors have in medicine. And to make sure that only skilled individuals are permitted by law to run for office, we must include training and licensing into our current democratic paradigm. Otherwise democracy will remain a rule of the halfwits, by the halfwits, for the halfwits till kingdom come.
