RE: Being a Politician is a Mental Disorder
I bristle every time I hear our representatives in government referred to as our leaders. I don't vote for leaders, the Constitution doesn't call for leaders. We elect representatives to do our bidding in government service.
I agree there is a certain personality disorder that leads one to seek such positions of power, but I also believe there is a supporting disorder that leads others to submit and follow.
What's messed up is that even they refer to themselves as regimes.
I think some of them start out wanting to make a positive difference, and the system turns them into something unrecognizable, even to themselves.
