"When you're in first grade, if the person who got the second-most votes became class leader, the kids would recognize that this is not a fair system," he said. Was it unfair that the Pittsburg Pirates won the 1960 World Series 5 games to 4 when the New York Yankees scored 55 runs and the Pirates just 27 runs over the course of the 9 games of the series? Or is that just the way the system works -- and is supposed to work?

Please tell me you're kidding ... cause if you're not you'll be needing to go stand in the corner for a while.
