I agree, which is why I despise politicians — power-seekers every one. A man or woman who inherits power whether they want it or not is less likely to be a tyrant, not more, because they have no ambition to power; it is theirs by right of birth.

Yes. I've worked for my state's government. I don't believe in perfect governments for a very simple reason: Governments, like Soylent Green, are made of people and people are not perfect.
