I have little trust in a very large majority of people running for public office, especially at the national level. I have even less trust in the public electing them. How we have managed to avoid completely destroying ourselves is something barely short of a miracle. But the process here in the US is certainly no worse than any other process being used anywhere else. So, we'll continue to muddle along... and hope for the best.
