Silver Spoon Toxicity

 
It is unfortunate that the United States of American has a tendency to elect men to the Presidency who were born with silver spoons in their mouths; this creates a silver spoon toxicity which stunts the office.
 
Republican Abe Lincoln; Republican George W. Bush; juxtapose.
 
While this tendency is tragically exemplified in George W. Bush, it permeates American history and it carries the concept of wealth-nobility into American democracy, and where this concept of wealth-nobility exists there can be no true democracy.
 
Skill, talent, courage, intelligence, record-worth-standing-on, these are not the portfolio for the American Presidency today; name-recognition, money, and family are.
 
For George W. Bush to be elected President all he had to do was avoid death in Vietnam, and not be totally swallowed up by drunkenness and cocaine addiction.  That's it.  Period.  He never had to do anything of merit.
 
This means that when meritorious action is required, such as after Katrina, he hasn't the metal for it.
 
For real people seeking political office, life is tough meat and they have to be a sharp knife; for silver-spoon babies like George W. Bush, life is warm butter and a butter knife is knife enough.
 
What this means in today's terms, with a silver spoon baby in the White House, is that the baby never had to be a real man, he never had to hone his mind, never had to put his ideas on the poker table of ideas because he always knew he could beat four Aces with his Daddy's Duce.
 
His path was clear from the start, cradle to White House, barring screw-ups beyond repair and barring the competition of other silver-spoon babies.
 
One of the core reasons for the American Revolution was to get away from the tyranny of stupidity inherent in the silver spoon toxicity of the prince-to-king system.
 
Silver spoon toxicity stunted George W. Bush's mind at 14; unlucky for you, unlucky for the world, lucky for Satan.
 
America is packed to the rafters with people more qualified to be President than George W. Bush, people who made their own way, cut their own path, put their lives on the line time after time on bloody battlefields far away.
 
Those people did this while the silver spoon baby diddled with flying, more playing dress-up with a sock in his pants than rising to be a real fighter jock; and diddled with schooling, buying C-average degrees unavailable to the poor, the diligent, and the studious.
 
George W. Bush never really studied history, and now warps the future; never really studied military science, and now plays commander-in-chief in the sandbox; never really learned the craft of statesmanship, and now does not realize real people in power can see he is just a pompous, undereducated, immature boy in the body of a pompous, undereducated immature man.
 
I mention this today because this stupid son of a bitch is a hair's breadth away from destroying the world.

Continuing my series of classified ads in the hope of finding a home where I can live and work in peace and freedom, I today ask any elected person within the borders of the United States of America to offer me such a place in his or her constituency.
 
Thank you,
