People want someone to come in on a white horse and fix everything. (paraphrasing)

There is an attitude, and it seems like a pretty popular one, to me, that all one has to do is push the right voting lever and presto! Things will get fixed and run well. And when that doesn't work, we bitch about said leaders, and let someone else deal with the task of cleaning up the neighborhood.
