People worldwide have no faith in leaders
Edited on Sat Nov-20-04 02:28 AM by dArKeR
The world is becoming a much more dangerous place led by politicians who are too incompetent, dishonest and not trustworthy to deal with the challenges, according to an ambitious survey of global opinion released on Thursday.

In a massive vote of no-confidence in political elites worldwide, the poll of 50,000 people in more than 60 countries found that almost two out of three people considered their leaders to be dishonest while just over half saw them as unethical.

Hong Kong residents trust business leaders less than anyone else in Asia, with more than six out of 10 considering them dishonest, according to the survey.

Let's see the American Media Whores compare the world under Clinton to the world under the Bush Crime Family.

2. And just think, we've got the most imcompetent, greedy, scheming,
lying, cheating, warmongering ones right here in our own country.

At least we're still first in something.

4. It's reaching the point
...That if someone is capable of gaining office, he should be locked up immediately.

5. Incompetence, leadership vacuum
what is coming from all this global awareness of the sh*t rising to the top is a sense of doom. These middle managers cannot cope and any renegade with daring and might can run roughshod over the sad bunch(Iraq War). And for REAL crises of nature coming up OR the burgeoning population, plagues, etc.? Get the hell rid of them and fast!
