In Singapore, where I worked before, the ministers are qualified educated people who are amongst the highest paid individuals in the land. They are expected to produce tangible results and are completely accountable / responsible for their actions. That's why laws are strictly imposed if anyone steps out of line. All activities are planned in a corporate manner aimed towards achieving results.
While our country (and its people) are great, sometimes I feel that the constitution needs to be changed, so that the masses cannot elect such clowns as our representatives. These jokers shout at the top of their voices meaninglessly at our expense and think they are doing a great service to the nation. Ask them in detail about their subject and they will often not have a clue. Yet we continue to elect them. In a way we deserve what we get.
These jokers need to be stripped and horse whipped in public.

Couldn't agree more. The calibre of our politicians is pathetic. Yes, our constitution must be amended..instead of adult franchise it should be literacy franchise.
Remember reading in Time magazine years ago...during the American Auto worker's strike, a meeting was held between the president of Auto Mfrs union and president of Auto workers union....guess what, they were both classmates in Law school - Harvard University. Such calibre.
