<p>I'm thinking of...</p>
<p>Steven Pinker/Charles Murray 2008!</p>
<p>or...</p>
<p>Steven Pinker/Daniel Dennett 2008!</p>
<p>or something like that.</p>
<p>Only that it won't be done =P</p>
<p>No one listens to the most recent findings in cognitive psychology or behavioral economics. Even though it's possible to start implementing solutions based on such science now.</p>
<p>pugfug,</p>
<p>I hope you realize that many successful presidents have been around McCain's age?</p>
<p>Oh, and I forget who said:

When you are taking the man for software development job, do you prefer if he actually had experience in programming?
If you are choosing a general, do you prefer civilian or someone who has been in war? And when you choose the ultimate commander-in-chief, how can you take someone without experience in war business?</p>
<p>mr_chipset,</p>
<p>One of the hallmarks of the American constitution is the notion of civilian control of the military.</p>
<p>Besides, who says that military experience necessarily makes you better at understanding foreign policy? I'd pit John Foster Dulles, Atcheson, and Kissinger as understanding foreign policy and security policy against any former military.</p>
<p>What a good POTUS needs isn't the grassroots military experience (which is all most of the recent presidents had), but instead a good understanding of how foreign policy, military policy, and diplomacy all work. The actual "strategery" can be left to the Pentagon, DoD, DIA, and other organizations to sort out.</p>
<p>Well I'm not too fond of those geezers either, and did you not notice the part about McCain soon to have skin cancer right as he's about to be possibly inaugurated? PS, don't take this thread too seriously:)</p>
