Actually, I don't want politicians who are leaders. Hitler's title was

"the
leader". Mussolini's title was "the leader". Whatever happened to the idea

that
the president and Congreass are *servants* of the people?


It can be said of most people in leadership positions that they are servants
of the people whom they are supposed to lead. Unfortunately, most people
who wind up in leadership positions fail to recognize this and in fact
aspire to positions of leadership for all the wrong reasons.

US politics and businesses alike are prime examples of this. I don't think
there's anything mutually exclusive of a person being a leader and a servant
all at the same time though.

Maybe not, but the last time I heard a politico refer to serving the people was
many, many years ago. Of course, lots of them do provide service, in the same
sense that a bull provides it to a cow.

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money prolonging
the problem.

Does the cow still think so during the birth of the calf though?
Or does she curse him and tell him it's all his fault? :-)
