it seems that having at least a bit of a megalomaniacal streak is a prerequisite for success in the political arena. of course they should be above such things, but that just ain't the case. to the contrary; mud slinging, whining and petty bickering seem to be the norm. our leaders have distanced themselves so much for the population they are supposedly representing that they seem to picture themselves as omnipotent. through corrupt maneuvering, their slightest whims can become the law of the land and their transgressions are painted over at each election with a new batch of promises and lies. with the weight of their parties behind them, their childish natures are hidden behind the mask of the dignity of power.
