It depends, do you want your national leadership to be as capable as your corporate leadership, or composed of either those who don't have the skill to rise to the top of business leadership or are sufficiently independently wealthy that they can afford the major salary cut that results from public service?

Why does it have to be Middle Eastern. Doesn't Sweden have quite a bit of oil?

Sadly, no. They drilled for some in the 70's, but they got something like 2 barrels out of that project. Norway has a lot of of oil, but those cowards are hiding behind NATO's skirt...

Thank you! But for the record: I ain't near Negus crazy. ;)

Using both Negus and crazy in the same sentence is redundant. All you need to say is "I ain't freakin' Negus" or "You're Negus, dude" or "Stop it! You're driving me Negus".

It depends, do you want your national leadership to be as capable as your corporate leadership, or composed of either those who don't have the skill to rise to the top of business leadership or are sufficiently independently wealthy that they can afford the major salary cut that results from public service?

That's where the problem lies. Their mindset is too business-oriented. They are the CEO's, chairmans, director or whatever whereas the people are their employees. If the employee can't perform, they throw you aside and import foreign talents. These people elected are to run the country and serve the people, not the other way round.

I prefer those who really have the heart to serve the people. Skills can be trained.

No, i'd really prefer they were much more capable than that. I'm such a dreamer... :rolleyes:

It's my engineer traits. Redundancy is good!
