Well, from what I've seen over the years, the public at large loves to see things laid to waste. For probably the same reason that people find it necesary to ogle an accident, we seem to love to tear into our leaders, and lay them open, exposed and vulnerable to each and every little flaw. I have every confidence that there are/were some very excellent statesmen and leaders that never surfaced because they either couldn't stand up to, or didn't want to be exposed to, the public scrutiny. What we demand of our leaders is an awful lot to ask of any man or woman. I know for a fact (I was asked to run for City Council, by the Libertarian Party)that I wouldn't do it...would you?
