Or Hargis. Or Mom. Or me (well... except I need to work on the humility thing and not thinking I've got all the answers). See what I mean?<BR/><BR/>Rhetorical question: if Lincoln was running today, would he have any chance in the world at rising to the Presidency? He embodied all or most of those characteristics, but would he have any chance at all as a low-level state official and country lawyer?<BR/><BR/>I do agree that, as you say, one thing (balanced government) may follow the other (possessing those traits). Cause-effect, right?<BR/><BR/>Our natural habitat? Good question. We might need a time machine.<BR/><BR/>Happy Friday to all-<BR/><BR/>-AHMichael Tamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861899520031696061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-78777446986648790222007-05-18T05:50:00.000-05:002007-05-18T05:50:00.000-05:00Well, hmmm... y'know, it seems to me that if a man...Well, hmmm... <BR/><BR/>y'know, it seems to me that if a man exhibited all those characteristics you've carefully laid out then the idea of "balanced government" might come as naturally to him as, well, dipping his cookies in his milk. Or something?<BR/><BR/>Essentially I think you've just outlined (and very well I might add) the leading characteristics which define a "balanced" individual, er, leader. Hence, an understanding of balanced government (or an ability to understand it) would just be a natural result of his internal character...which someone probably molded and shaped during his formidable years. This is not to say that he'd necessarily define it or reduce it under that specific head of course - we ain't managed to get the term in Webster's yet.<BR/><BR/>My favorite, upon a first and second reading, is the one requiring enough smarts to know he don't know everything. In the world of politics this is a truly rare commodity, or animal... Oh, 90 percent of politicians will tell ya they don't know everything. Then they turn right around and act as if they do. ...Indeed, when we manage to find such an individual with this (and these) specific qualification(s), then we oughta put him on some informal endangered species list and do all in our power to protect him in his life, liberty, health...and natural habitat. And speaking of natural habitats...Where's ours?<BR/><BR/>Do tell -who'd you have in mind?Terry Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166609562028309038noreply@blogger.com
