Hard to believe but its true :)

In life, "Never judge a book by its cover...or title" can at times be all so true.

We are given a brief bio-data of three persons to be elected as our leader:

Candidate 1: Deals with rogue politicians, consults with astrologers, has two wives, chain smokes, and drinks 8-10 glasses of martinis a day.
Candidate 2: Twice expelled from office, sleeps until noon, indulged in opium while in college, and consume about a liter of whiskey every evening.
Candidate 3: Received a military award, a vegetarian, does not smoke, drinks an occasional beer, and never cheated on his wife.

If you voted for Candidate No.1, well, you have voted Franklin D. Roosevelt into office.
If you choose candidate No.2, you got Winston Churchill as the new leader.
If your vote is on the best sounding candidate of the three....well....you did not change history and prevented world war two because you have put Adolf Hitler into power.

Now, supposed you are the doctor of a pregnant woman who has eight children, three of whom are deaf, two blind, one mentally retarded, and she has syphilis. Would you would have advised her to have an abortion?
If your reply (barring any religious controversies & taboos, but given as a medical doctor) is "yes", well, then the world would never have heard of "Beethoven" and his beautiful symphony.

Wow, that is kind of a bummer thing to read actually.

Obviously, people should have written in for Candidate #4 - Me!

 

[DavidC1]

Heh. and what is your description then?

 

[Pharaoh]

Candidate 4: Absolute ruler of Ancient Egypt. Has so man wives that he needs an accountant to keep track of the current number. Since his laws clearly state that he owns all of his subjects as well as anyone else who enters his domain, judges have ruled than any non-spousal relationships don't legally count as cheating. Drinks as much or as little as he feels like. After one incident of being too merciful with that Moses fellow, adopted a policy to crush all who oppose him and have the leaders of any opposition publicly executed as quickly as possible. Has clearly demonstrated that charismatic leadership combined with fear of whips can build the most impressive structures with the simplest of tools. Promises to return the world to a Golden Age.

Vote for Candidate 4 now, or else!

I still seens only start of the thread, but I do really see it's happening basically. China will overrule basically USA in the next 20-30 years and will be #1 country, USA doesn't produce anything anymore real. Doesn't invent so much more like it used to be and so on.
