I wish people voted for people who understood any kind of logic.

As Matt Blaze pointed out at USENIX Security this year, politicians
aren't scientists.  We value logic and truth.  Politicians value
getting people to agree.  A scientist's pursuit of logic and truth
uses disagreement.  To a politician, disagreement is a tool of
attack.
