Not allowing root login is brain damaged. Why can't I see my enabled root login at the console? [closed]

This whole we know better than you what security you require really is wayy too Soviet Communist for me. I can login through putty as root, but the console doesn't have that option. The guest account doesn't even have an easy way to get to a prompt to change to root. Your security holier than though process is screwing up my testing, and has since the whole sudo piece was thrown in. If I didn't have to use Ubuntu for testing, I would stay with Centos, Windows, and Solaris.
If there is an easy way to enable root login at the console, that would be a lot more useful than the other responses in the posts that I have read that basically just keep telling you not to do it.
