Re: Yet another bloody idiot ...
Apparently so. Those who wish to gain power seem to spend their lives devoted to it, to the extent that they never get a decent grounding in any particular speciality.
Of course, those who spend their lives specialising in something seem to have no desire to rule.
Paraphrasing Douglas Adams then, who do you get to rule, when those who want to are unsuitable to do so, and those who are capable of doing so don't want to rule?
