I think that in an election cycle or two you will see an atheist
business leader emerge as a legitimate candidate for president. And
his name will be Bill Gates.
By then, Bill Gates will have done so much good for the world
through his charitable works that combined with his business success
heâ??ll appear more qualified than any other candidate. His early
bachelor life and some of his business practices will come back to
haunt him if he runs, but he can still win with this simple slogan:
â??Who would you rather have on your side?â?? Heâ??ll confess to all of
his past imperfections and say that presidents are poor choices for
role models. Heâ??ll advise you to look to your parents for role
models while you let him run the country.
So maybe it's just as well; the world isn't quite ready
for a President with such sweeping, erm, vistas.
