The problem is that when the "real deal" comes along, if ever, he or she
will say what no one is comfortable hearing and ask that people to do
difficult things that involve self-sacrifice by every level of
socio-economic status, and while it won't sound pleasant, it'll sound
exactly like what it is: honest, sensible, correct and proper. The only
question is, "will enough people actually listen?"

And the answer is, "Of course not." If a person like that were
electable Adlai Stevenson would have been President. And Al Gore.
