I have found that MENSA members are are able to reason extremely well, they ask the most pertinent questions, and would make good legislators, if not for the fact that they know you have to compromise your principles to get elected, or reelected.

It is a shame because our legislators and state governors OUGHT to be the most ethical "best and brightest" citizens we have, yet it never works out that way.

We get pandering fools, bribe seekers, or immoral, self aggrandizing twits like Teddy Kennedy and Hildebeast Rodham Clinton, two example of people who simply CANNOT EVER be trusted.
