KAKISTOCRATS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, as I gathered up the roadkill from my wild ride along the information superhighway, I stumbled upon a new jewel of a word --kakistocracy--. If your immediate jeopardic response is "what is government in khaki pants?"...you, like me, would be only slightly wrong. It is BAD government in khaki pants. Not just bad, but government by the most unsuitable and unscrupulous people. And though there is no mention of khaki pants, that detail is assumed.

kak·is·toc·ra·cy

plural: kak·is·toc·ra·cies noun.

bad government: government by the most unscrupulous or unsuitable people, or a state governed by such people

(Early 19th century. From Greek kakistos "worst" + -cracy.) Thesaurus *

kak*is*toc*ra*cy Pronunciation: (kak"u-stok'ru-sE), n., pl. -cies. government by the worst persons; a form of government in which the worst persons are in power. kak·is·toc·ra·cy Noun. Inflected forms: pl. kak·is·toc·ra·cies Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens. Etymology: Greek kakistos, worst, superlative of kakos, bad; see caco- + -cracy. The American Heritage® Dictionary

So, now it is established, we are living in a kakistocracy.

What to do? What to do? What to do?... Wait, shouldn't that be a representative kakistocracy? We will have to look into that, but that still leaves us wondering what to do about it? We are governed my the most unsuitable and unscrupulous people. A true dilema. As luck would have it, my careening through the ether also netted the claim by Soviet authorities that they had encountered the lair of a Yeti, referenced as a 'wigwam". Now, all architectural possibilities aside, this struck me as a bonanza for those concerned souls in their desperate attempt to overcome the bottleneck in the political genepool. It may offer us our only hope of breaking free of our self-imposed, blind-alley
kakistocracy.
