Over on the Dilbert website, Scott Adams argues in his blog (http://www.dilbert.com/blog/) that the reason that China has been so successful in recent years has been because all their leaders have been engineers.
I have nothing against engineers (my Dad was one) but like many of monkey-boy’s bright ideas that deal with anything outside the narrow confines of his once-funny strip, I have to question it.
Of course, it could have been argued in 1942, for example, that Nazi Germany was spectacularly “successful,” but never mind. I will just note that the two engineers who were given the opportunity to lead this country were—Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter.
Remind me, how did those two Presidencies work out?
