    Yeah, I feel the same way about this. Why is it okay to have a career in virtually any other form of expertise, but we want a bunch of amateurs running government?

    I just don’t get this sentiment, at all. I understand the frustration with government and how flawed it is (because people are flawed), but I don’t understand why the same people who don’t seek “outsiders” and amateurs to, say, drill their teeth or do open heart surgery, will turn around and frown on expertise in government.

    Why?
