A Modest Proposal

[MineralMan]

Replace all elected officials with 11 year old girls who get straight As in school. Random selection from the pool. One year terms.

I have no doubt we would be better governed.

Think I'm joking? I'm not.

1. Sir, have you been drinking?

That makes too much sense. You must be high.

Or smart.

[MineralMan]

3. I have not.

11 year old girls who excel in school know stuff. They're very sincere. They are very direct. They work together well. They detect all bullshit instantly and will give you "the look" if you try to put one over on them.

In general, they are superior to most elected adults.

4. You probably are on to something here.

Someone is going to hardwire a brace of 11 year old girls that excel in school, know stuff, very sincere, very direct, work together well, detect BS instantly, and gibe the "look" into a Minority Report ensemble to runs things.

Probably do better too organized by supposed adults.

Unfortunately the World is not a playground.

6. Okay

I’ll go with smart, then.

And I generally agree with you about the subject class we’re discussing.

2. I like it!

5. Don't doubt it. I know darn well we would be better off with a lot more women

in leadership roles.

7. For a moment I thought you were talking about the essay by Johnathon Swift

[MineralMan]

8. No. That was satire.

I'm serious. Really.
