As an alien visitor, I have been wondering why your political leaders do not practice some of the more common features in the social patterns of many non-Terran societies - truth in communications and trust in the people governed. When your leaders do not give you useful information and believe that you do no have the ability to understand complex issues, why do you let them remain leaders?
Before my people reached universal individual maturity - we had social leaders. Everyone one of them had to uphold this rule - to act only in the public good. Every analysis done by a leader's decision had to show that every member on our planet was well served. I am puzzled by your actions in Africa where so many die from poor water, mosquitos and not belonging to the right labeled group. Or how killing 100,000 people in the name of creating democracy is not considered a stupid method. Perhaps it is your species way of High Comedy, but I have my doubts.
On the planet Brnnerjhn, this planetwide law was enacted centuries ago - Each elected official must live only as well as the average citizen. They get paid the average wage, access the average hospitals and live in average dwellings. Today, the common Brnnerjhian is as wealthy as your William Gates.
Can you a puzzle to solve - how to blend the rights of the individual with social actions for the public good? Will you survive to become our neighbors and share apple recipes, with the galactic us. I hope so.
