true those kings of the past were more educated than today's politicians. they were trained pretty much everything so they couldn't be fooled.. and the training starts at very early childhood. they did a pretty good job didn't they?

ah and those courses of the past were a lot more sophisticated than today's dumb OLs. take last year ol math paper for instance (not the first one which the govt. foolishly rejected) even a grade 5 kid can answer that.
