The problem with the world today is the equivalent of ‘the people’ (ah, such a hallowed entity, ‘The people have spoken’, ‘The people have sent us a message’, the people this, the people that, as if we’re not all individuals with a million different opinions but a herd of goats)… Where was I? Ah, yes, the equivalent of the people choosing ‘one of us’ to drive the airplane in which they’re travelling instead of a qualified pilot. Or a classroom of ignoramuses choosing the class bully, also an ignoramus, ‘one of them’, rather than someone who is educated, respectable and respectful to represent them as class prefect.
Leading a nation, any nation but especially a large country or even a superpower, is not a joke! Having a thug at the helm in Brazil and burning up the Amazon could well push us even faster into climate catastrophe.
