On "running for President"

"Who is best qualified to be President?"

How does one become "qualified" to oversee the coercive micromanaging of the lives of several hundred million people? One doesn't. Ever. Yet in the coming weeks you will hear all sorts of talking heads giving their asinine opinions about who is "qualified" to violently rule the world. Not only is it impossible for anyone to have the moral right to control millions of others, but the idea that some set of "qualifications" could make it a good idea to let someone make choices for everyone else is just stupid. For example, what does one have to do to be "qualified" to make all of YOUR choices for you, to run your life for you, and to hurt you if you don't cooperate? Is there some special college degree or work experience that equips someone for that?

What if the government has produced nothing and owns nothing, save what it has coerced us to give it? What if the courts have ruled that the government can lie and cheat with impunity in order to acquire our property or assault our freedoms?
