Governing needs to become more like a science.
I am sick and tired of politicians blabbering anything that comes to their mind. Why is it not possible to have only professionals as politicians, who actually know all about what they are talking about when discussing a certain issue and are able to fully disclose all the facts and ideas that lead to their reasoning?

1. Governing is a science
and your part of the experiment. When a politician throws out a policy it is an experiment. It would be nice if the policy was backed up with sound scientific principals since your life will be part of the experiment.

2. Then why do I feel like someone is not doing the math?
We should have a large enough sample size by now with approx. two thousand years of recorded history.
