But the real question is, do you feel better now?
People are flawed. People in government are flawed. In fact, people in government are probably more flawed because no one in their right mind would put up with the abuse that the more visible members of the government have to put up with.
If the opportunity were handed to you, would you run for President? I sure as heck wouldn't. No way would I consider it for even a second. My every word sliced and diced like they do? My past opened up and every thing I've ever done or not done examined and judged like people do when they're engaged in bloodsport? Imagine having your every facial expression or personal mannerism and idiosyncrasy put under a microscope. And your family, what about them?
Sure they do it for the glory and they deserve the abuse they get. But by definition, we've allowed a system to develop that keeps the best and the brightest out of government. We should take some responsibility and maybe even cut the gov. people a little slack for the minor screwups.
But then again, I'm suggesting an ounce of compassion and I don't think you know that word.
