I do wish useless privileged people with nothing else to do in their lives would stop inflicting themselves on the country while attempting to dignify it as making the sacrifice of going into public service. There's no sacrifice. It's an intoxicating and glamorous pursuit. You couldn't blast them out of their supposed suffering and sacrifice with a nuclear bomb. Most of them have nowhere else to go, or nothing else to do. They are not serving anyone but themselves and their own ambition. It's become an exclusive club of the inept that is destroying America.
I strongly disagree. It took me almost two years to read the series. It's essentially a post-graduate course in political science and social psychology. The comments are also of particular value.
