Rating 0 Throughout History, ancient or modern, political aspirations were never dictated by a candidate's degree of, what the profane would regard as, formal education. Regardless of the arena, i.e., local, state, or federal, the ambitious candidate must have esoteric understanding of that system. The operative word, 'system', being that which Romans uttered in reference to their 'sewers', which is why, even today, we refer to them as - ' sewer systems'....etymologically speaking.
