We don't need world leaders, we need good politicians who work for the best of their country and cooperate well with other countries.

I am also wary about the charismatic part - I would like good, decent and intelligent leaders.

Btw. according to my grand-father who was a socialist, Hitler was considered charismatic too and a terrific orator - and look what it got Germany and the world. So this is not something on the top of my list for what I expect from a good politician or leader.

True true.  But in America people have been dumbed down to such an extent that I am concerned that ONLY a charismatic leader will be listened to.  Along with being decent, intelligent, etc.

Will have to find where the food warehouses are in northern CA.  Those with access to food stores will have greater influence in a starving population.

Fran: Believe it or not, we're on the same side.
