Ah, then you *do* believe there are perfect politicians you can vote for. That must be a comfort...

I think the point of our system is not perfect politicians, but rather the knowledge that leaders will be imperfect, and that the system is designed to counterbalance abuses of authority by imperfect politicians. Nothing's perfect. We strive for perfection and get "pretty good" most of the time. The whole is greater (and closer to perfection) than the sum of the parts.
