It would be tons more dangerous to hire an unqualified person, not to mention probably easier to bribe and fool them as well as they aren't experienced in the political dirty tricks governments and large companies engage in. I'd rather have a "stooge" as HN and reddit called Tom Wheeler for a very long time at the FCC, than some random idiot who, say, watches Fox News all day or reads HuffPost all day and completely lacks any sophistication in how government works. The very same people who want outsiders also don't understand why third party candidates they often support end up being racists or fascists or communists. There's real value in the mainstream - that's why its the mainstream. I wish more young people understood that.
