In the US the bald are not elected as leaders

This week, Arnold Schwarzenegger was inaugurated the governor of the American state of California
By Dr. Barrett-Gaines
This week, Arnold Schwarzenegger was inaugurated the governor of the American state of California. He won the election for only two reason: he is a famous film star and has big muscles.
So Schwarzenegger is a now the governor of one of the richest states in America because he has big muscles. This is the type of thing that is important to the American voter. We choose our leaders for very superficial reasons. We look at the outside not the inside and not at the brain or the heart.
But I must admit that big muscles are not a requirement for American leadership. George Bush does not have big muscles and he is the President of the US. No, big muscles are not required to lead in America. But hair is.
Americans only elect leaders who have a full head of hair. Americans do not elect bald men. If you were to go to the Capitol Building in Washington today, which is our parliament, you would find only men with lots of hair.
You will neither find bald senators or congressmen, nor you will not find any bald presidents. Actually, there is an exception, only one bald man has ever served as President of the US and that was Dwight Eisenhower, who served in the 1950s because he led the US and its allies to victory in World War II.
Eisenhower was elected because he had proved his strength and manhood on the battlefield. Americans need to see manhood, and since we cannot look under the bonnet, so to speak, we look at the top of the head.
Hair, in our culture, is a sign of manhood and baldness a sign of weakness. Does this mean that President Museveni could not be president of the US. Well, perhaps he could, because Museveni is black. It is becoming popular for black American men to shave their heads bald.
Michael Jordan, one of our greatest basketball players, made baldness beautiful and popular among black American men. But this bald popularity seems true only among black Americas. We have not yet seen white actors, athletes, or singers shave their heads. And we have not yet seen bald black men elected as our leaders. Our elected leaders, both white and black, have hair on their heads.
What does this tell us about American voters?
Do Americans really take the time to understand a leader and his principles? Do we care? I do not so. I think Americans take one glance at a candidate, and vote them in according to their looks.
It is well known that George Bush Sr, chose Dan Quayle as his vice president because he is good looking and attracted many women voters. Quayle has lots of hair on his head. Dan Quayle is also an idiot, but the Americans public elected him all the same.
There are nine candidates from the Democratic Party and one from the Republican Party standing for the 2004 presidential elections. Eight are white men. one is a black woman and one a black man. All of them have lots of hair on their heads.
Let us see how the American public will vote.
