Voters indeed. All the leaders in my lifetime had proper beards! admittedly, all three were tyrants. Also, your past selves don't really count for beard growing prowess. You have my face, and yet are beardless. It's almost quite sad. I'm almost embarrassed.

And, yet, there's not so much as a scratch on you. Again, past selves don't count. You've never seen the sharp end of a sword or musket.
