Will, the last few days have made me start to wonder about you.
I have in no way suggested that we want politicians to be entertainers. I said that we do not want politicians to give us bad news or tell us that we are not and will not live in the best of all possible worlds. A politician, as much as people may pay lip service to the concept, could never "tell it like it is" - and actually do so - or admit that the solutions to a problem mean great sacrifices by the people. To do so is to lose an election.
