I hope that in the future, would-be politicians are required to take a test, something like the Myers-Briggs test, to determine their thought processes. I would also vote for drug testing them. After all, we peons have to take these tests to get jobs. So why not our elected officials. Let the people know them better before voting for them.
There's also a psycopathy test developed by Dr. Robert Hare. Maybe that will clear things up more? More people should read his books.
Political Ponerology is another one that would get a lot of people up to speed.
