Crab 0 Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I just wonder what kind of person would want to be a politician (wanting to be President, PM, etc). The pressure must be mind-numbingly enormous. Especially in times like these. Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 It scares me you know. The people that i knew that went on to become either cops or pollies. I can think of a few examples of the cops and one pollie. Both were vile human beings at school/uni. Massive ego, a huge vacuum where ones ethics usually reside and a great skil at covering up or diverting attention from past failure. It is sickening. Link to post Share on other sites

enderzero 0 Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 They have extremely valuable allies. For a really interesting narrative of how Bush was elected read the first chapter of M. Moore's "Stupid White Men..." I would jump at a chance to call the shots. Think of all the good that could be done. It is an incredibly long road to the top though and once you're there, chances are you have lost most of your integrity. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd never thought of that before zero. It is a pretty good point, as I would suggest that most pollies would start out with good intentions. But i doubt any of the top guyg got there 100% honestly.
