    I picked B. Any leader who drinks a quart of whiskey a day, and sleeps until noon, is my kind of guy. Seriouslah. I'll point out we won the war, too. Churchill kicks ass.

    True. However, if Beethoven's mother had aborted him, we wouldn't have lost anything because we wouldn't know we lost anything. Think about how many children die in childbirth or are miscarried or aborted. Yes, it's sad, but we don't know what they would have created had they lived. Moreover, the statistics there indicate that it would be wisest to recommend caution before having any more kids.

    The most important qualities I can think of in a leader are personal strength, and knowing what to do. That doesn't necessarily translate as intelligence, but it's probably closely related. At any rate the point is, we don't need leaders like Chamberlain who will sit around wavnig useless bits of paper decanting about peace, and completely ignoring Hitler's buildup. We need strong leaders like Bush or Thatcher - I'm not a fan of how Thatcher did what she did, but I do agree with her beliefs. I hate most of Bush's domestic policies. But the point is, they've both got a great deal of respect from me because they know what they believe in and they stick to it. A lot of politicians would fold under the pressure people like that get. Those who do not have something I'm willing to vote for.
