If there’s one thing that remains a constant in politics, it’s nepotism. It kind of makes you wonder whether there’s a genetic predisposition toward monarchy in the human race. People love to put the children of politicians in office, and there are still plenty of monarchists running around in the world. In Hawaii, for example, there are plenty of people who want to secede and restore the Hawaiian monarchy. Why? It baffles me. And for what it’s worth, I can’t think of any politicians that have done such a good job that I would eagerly cast a vote for their kid.
