I have recently added the title of world leader to my Steemit Introduction Page. What do you think of that?

Actually, Twitter triggered me to update my bio this way when they claimed, about a week ago, that world leaders are too important to try and force them to follow the rules like everyone else by the normal means available to Twitter, such as blocking the account or deleting Tweets.

That got me thinking, "what is a world leader?" I mean, I'm doing my part to tackle world problems such as global warming by reducing my greenhouse gas emissions. Surely this qualifies me as a world leader. But then I googled "world leaders" and to my surprise, I learned that it is the CIA which determines if you are that, and they apparently base their selections on how high you are in the political hierarchy of your country. Surely, everyone should express vocal disagreement about this by simply describing blatently one's self a world leader as I now do. (To make some space for this new moniker on my page, I had to remove, "failed comic," so anyone can do it and you may appear better that way.)

Anyway, this protest may lead to some confusion with Twitter. They may start to wonder why they listen to the CIA about who is a world leader. And quite frankly, I wonder why the CIA hasn't removed Trump from their list of world leaders given the way he has been treating them lately. If they did, then Twitter would be obliged to delete some of his tweets. That would surely be nice!

In my opinion, world leaders should follow the rules they make and also follow the rules of the social websites that they decide to visit.
