- Because such attempts (bring about peace and prosperity in the godless world) are illusory only, the people elect incompetent, blind leaders, one after another, who are incapable of offering solutions

H
- He (Nixon) will take a position, claiming, "I will give you very good service," and "I shall be a first-class servant." Therefore people vote, "All right, you become president." And he is advertising: "Reelect me! Reelect me!" That means he is a servant

- In the Kali-yuga everyone is a sudra. Therefore naturally he will elect one sudra. The sudra is not fit for government management

J
