The recent elections held in the United States once again brought to light the new standards being imposed by this society upon all those who wish to enter public office at any level. Are these standards impossible to meet? Is there anyone who has reached the level of perfection now being demanded? Are people being denied their right to be human? I am not referring here to crime, corruption, greed, avarice, double-dealing and deliberate wrong doing. I am referring to the imperfect state of just living as a human being. Do you believe that those who are creating these standards could meet them, or do we have still another example of "do as I say, not as I do"?

If this trend continues at its present rate, here's what the elected officials of the future will have to look forward to:

• Parents who decided at a very early age that the child would be a politician.
• An isolated life with no outside influences, no decisions to make, no choices, no mistakes, no bad judgments.
• No friends or associates for fear they may be the "wrong" kind.
• Carefully controlled education at home to avoid radical thinking, exposure to other theories, questions, or free thought.

A human man, dirt poor, with a manic-depressive disorder, prolonged episodes of debilitating, black depression, with a wife suffering from mental illness and a son with his own mental and physical disabilities, would never even consider entering his name for nomination for president. He wouldn't dare......and the U.S. would never have had Abraham Lincoln as a leader.
