One Too Many
Some folks are getting tired of all the candidates debating each other. Personally, I like to listen to, even participate in, complex, nuanced debates about important issues. I'm looking forward to this happening sometime.
Still, I have a bit of empathy for this yearning for a simpler process:
Man, I am tired of debates. Pakistan has the right idea: instead of 16 presidential candidates, or however many we have these days, just one. And no vote of the actual, you know, people. Says Generalissimo Musharraf, “Democracy means majority, whether there is opposition or no opposition.” So much more succinct than the Federalist Papers.Yet, one is still too many holding this type of office.
It is time to start getting serious about No One for president!
