The Roman emperor Caligula wished that the Roman people had but one neck, that he might cut it off.

And here we are, with a global political class composed of Caligulas.

“And here we are, with a global political class composed of Caligulas.”

Yep, absolutely... I wish the scope of general scrutiny was better at seeing the true bigger picture. And they are successful because we are imiting our own perspectives. We don’t chase it far enough up the pyramid.

I often wonder if it is because we just refuse to believe any human or group of humans could be so cruel and scrupulous. Do we hold too much faith in basic human compassion which limits our perspective and full realization? If so... We are gravely mistaken.
