Hello Amanda, what a "hit the nail on the head" word. I am taking the liberty of posting it in one of Peter's threads. Hope you don't mind, and have wonderful day. :)

A descriptive new word

Could not find it in my old Webster's. Googled it and discovered it is a recently "coined" new word found on a T shirt on eBay. Getting really close to the bone! Read this one over slowly and absorb the facts that totally are within this sentence!

I love this word and believe that it will become a recognized English word. Finally, a word to describe our current political situation.

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Hi Mary Evelyn,

Unfortunately, lots of voters don't even have a library card and probably haven't read an entire book since they left school.

Know what I always think about during elections when tons of people are driving other people to the polls, to make sure their candidate gets tons of votes?

Where are all those drivers all the other 1,460 days of the 4 years between elections, offering to drive people to the library? They don't!

It's unfortunate that USA public libraries have to have summer reading clubs and offer prizes to people who read a lot.

I've always thought it would be a good idea to only allow library-card holders to be able to vote, only people who check out at least 12 books per year, 48 books per every 4 years should be able to elect our officials. That might help.
