Great post!
As for myself, I think we all have to understand (me included) that politics and politicians need disparage.
They (politicians) need to feel important.
They are driven to find emotional support.
Their value as individuals is subject to the consensus of others.
Power and the adulation of the people is a driving force.
Where once were a set of principles that inspired action are now a reason for dissension.
Take for example the war on terrorism..........
We've escalated the war with drones, unmanned aircraft that bombs sovereign nations without a declaration of war.
That, in itself, is a description of terrorism.
This is an ego centric sign of abuse of power.
My life, as a citizen of America, and my children are not worth this immorality for the pretense of security!
