I would agree if you could demonstrate that he was uniquely able to do the job, but I doubt that is true. On the contrary I believe that history supports my argument that it is a job that many people could do at least adequately. A proportion of them could do the job more than adequately. I would rather take a chance on the modest risk of a total screw-up like Carter than risk the voting public believing that some family may have a genetic propensity to leadership. That is the first step to accepting aristocracy.

No thank you. The history of the planet thus far recommends against that particular governmental form.
