I'm inclined to disagree with your perspective; otherwise, we wouldn't find ourselves in the predicament we're currently facing. What I observe is a pervasive lack of competence, compounded by selfishness and narrow-mindedness, that characterizes the majority of people in that group. While I acknowledge that there are indeed "intelligent", empathetic and selfless individuals, they represent only a small portion of the overall population. So, "God" SOS.
