Seriously, folks
Oct. 2nd, 2008 08:34 amIn business, it's a good idea to always hire people who are smarter than you are. Hire a marketing director who is smarter about publicity than you are, a sales person who will sell more than you can, and a customer service rep who is better than you at calming people who are hysterical about their mushy tomatoes. That's just good business.
Over the next six weeks or so, both Canada and the US will be hiring our new leaders. We will be stuck with these leaders for four years* and the results of their decisions for quite possibly a lot longer than that. So, to the voting public of North America, a simple plea: Hire someone who is smarter than you are.
This may not be the person who is most likable or relatable.
This may not be the person in the nicest sweater vest.
This may not be - is almost certainly not - the most "just like us regular ol' folks".
Please, voters on both sides of the border, choose a leader who will be better and smarter than you would be, or at least smarter than the other candidates. And, my dear neighbours in the USA, if you think that means voting for Palin, then I must conclude that your education system is even worse off than formerly thought, and all sharp objects should be removed from your country forthwith before you hurt yourselves.
*Assuming a majority government in Canada.
