Socrates for President

[NightHunter24]

Socrates...Marcus Aurelius...Julius Caesar...all good company...I'd vote for Scipio Africanus...no nonsense derier kicking kinda dude.

Now do Scipio, Caesar, and Aurelius have running mates? Anyway, Socrates was here when the country was founded, he just fell asleep, woke up and disguised himself until I drafted him for president. But Caesar, he was stabbed, Scipio's grave syas: ungrateful fatherland, you will not even have my bones., (so he's dead), and Aureliu's ashes were lost in 410, so there's no hope of him being alive. And I don't know about Socrates's body, but the hemlock didn't kill him, He woke up in the 4th century, went to Britain under an assumed name with pytheas, lived there, helped colonize the Americas, and was in the revolutionary army. He supported Abe Lincoln under the name "Harold Flowers". He faked many deaths. His most recent assumed name was "Chunga Kazakhstan", and then I had a phone call with him, faked another death, and now is under his own, original name, Socrates, and will stay that way, but needs a last name, once he assumes office. Anyone know a greek occupational surname meaning "king", "president", or "ruler", or maybee he won't need a last name, but if he needs a full name, he'll be "Socrates Chunga Kazakhstan"

The best leader whatever the title is one who has to dragged kicking and screaming to the office and tries to leave office as soon as possible without destroying the country in the process.

Historical examples:

Claudius whatever his personal habits he was a good administrator

George Washington

Anyone think of anyone else? Anyone with enough ambition to be
the leader of a country generally has too much ambition to be a good one.

Is not Cincinnatus the most famous example of one who accepted office reluctantly, performed brilliantly, and then departed happily back to private life. A truly Noble Roman.

We should all be so lucky to have such leaders.

There is an old Chinese say:

A leader is best who, when the task is completed, his followers say "We did this ourselves."

Invisible leadership.
