Rules for voting

Now that the contenders for the American Presidential election appear to be set, it is time to offer some rules for deciding how to vote.

Rule #1. Vote against the incumbent.

Rule #2. If no incumbent, vote against the lawyer.

Rule #3. If no lawyer... naaah, that will never happen.

Throw the rascals out is always good policy.

While it might seem a good idea to have a few elected lawyers to perform a rigorous review of proposed legislation to ensure that it meets policy objectives, while minimizing unintended consequences, they have grossly failed to perform this task effectively.

And there are far too many lawyers in politics.
