In my life time, I've had the pleasure of knowing a few of those geniuses hidden in plain sight. Though abounded with a great deal of knowledge, and blessed with talents themselves not even aware of. They live simple lives with their equally ordinary jobs. They're sub-par looking, don't talk much, and they're not particularly good at dealing with people. Such personality has nothing to do with their ability. But it has everything to do with their probability of been publicly elected as the president of a country. Because the ability to run a nation smoothly and efficiently is not of election's concern. The first priority for any presidential candidate, is by all means, to get as many votes as possible. For that, they need to have their armed eloquence coated with a credible voice; an anti-depressive grin manifested on an amiable face; a dapper set of costume wrapped on a preferable body figure, and lastly, a dandy posture decorated cap-a-pie in charisma to complete an overall respectable image, which they supposedly, used to show confidence they don't have, and make promises they can't keep. I'm sorry if this reads awfully like a job description for a salesperson. 

　　在我并不算长的人生中，我有幸能认识到几位隐藏在光天化日下的达人。虽然他们或满腹渊博学识，或浑身过人才干，却过着很大众的生活，做着很寻常的工作。他们长相并不出众，平常话也不多，更不擅长与他人打交道。虽然他们的这些属性并不影响到他们的实际能力，但却能直接影响到他们通过公投成为国家总统的仕途。因为在民主选举制中，你管理国家的能力与选举没有任何关系。对于任何一个总统候选人来说，唯一有关系是尽可能地争取尽量多的选票。为达到这个目的，候选人需要用令人信服的嗓音送出雄辩的口才，用会心的微笑装点可敬的颜面，用上档次的外套搭配得体的身材，最后，还需要用举手投足，一笑一颦中展现出的魅力来完成整个令人信服的造型。而通过这个造型，他们不断展现他们其实并不存在的自信，不断宣扬他们其实无法兑现的承诺。如果以上的文字和销售员的职位描述别无二致，很抱歉，这不是巧合。

From what I can see, democracy, particularly US democracy, in a nutshell, is amateur voter elects amateur salespersons disguised as presidents to make amateur decisions and lead a nation of amateurs on an amateurish wild goose chase that changes direction every four years.

　　以上的所有，让我的得出以下这个结论：民主，特别是美国民主，简而言之，就是外行选民选出由外行销售员伪装成的总统，来做出外行的决策并引领满是外行的国家，去很外行地追逐天上的月亮，而且每隔四年还要变换一下前进的方向。
