Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Our politicians?
A sharpest tongue and a dull mind are usually found in the same head! I think anyone is a position of power should spend more time around real people in an inconspicuous manner to just observe. What it says to me is that it's all great and wonderful to go out and become book smart about the world, particularly about politics, but in the end, true knowledge and understanding comes from experience and observation.
