haha. I would hope we could find 21 considering we have a population of over 21 million. :D

Surely a group of specialists in their fields are better than the democratic system we currently have. And seeing as they are from the top of their fields and are screened to avoid psychopaths and generally angry people, I think these people could easily come to the right decision. Even the policeman in regards to economic policy could simply defer to another expert's decision if he or she so wished. I feel these people would be far more qualified at understanding the problems encountered by ordinary members of society, and far more qualified at fixing these problems than the members of the House of Representatives or the Senate.

In relation to getting a bunch of citizens to run the country: These people are not ordinary citizens. They are the "elite" of those citizens so to speak. They are the more intelligent, more humble, and more generous. A doctor was once a patient, but grew to become so much more. In the same way, these board members were simply citizens once, but now they could be benevolent rulers.

I'm not suggesting that this is a perfect system by any means. But I do believe it is a far better system than we have now. And to be honest, I can't really think of a better system that the one I proposed.

I do understand what you mean regarding economists deciding economic policy, doctors deciding on medical policy etc, but the problem you run into there is you end up having too many chefs in the kitchen so to speak. And if we isolate policies like that, then it creates segregation and prevents policies from being compatible with each other. Many policies affect numerous fields, and thus I don't think it would work to separate economists from the doctors when making these policies :)

Some excellent examples of leaders that people thought could would be good and could be controlled include Caligula, Idi Amin, Ho Chi Minh and Osama Bin Laden. Actually Bismark also thought he could control Hitler.

This is why I proposed that psychologists screen candidates. I don't believe any of those people you mentioned could have passed the psychological testing, and thus would never become members of the board.

Good idea, Big Fish.

Not sure if any of my boys will get an allstar callup this season. Hot Rod might get a SG backup spot...?

Define 'top four'? And are we doing a team for East and a team from West or combined?
