Should we be looking for opium addicts to elect as the Prime Minister/President?

Example - there are 500 murderers locked up in a high security prison. Historically speaking if one murderer was pardoned by the Governor and let out for good behaviour does it mean the other 499 should be let loose also just because one bad egg came good?

Basically I think it is right to judge a person on his or her attributes but wrong to take this judgement and extrapolate to others just because one or two variables are the same. To a thinking man, this is really stupid.

Daggernite, please don't misunderstand I am not criticizing you ... I sm critical of people who come up with these nonsense ideas.
Dont worry dude its all good. I have not put as much thought into as you, I just thought it was a pretty cool thing to read. I just took it for a good laugh and nothing else
