"Absolute power corrupts absolutely." 

This is exactly what happens when those in charge make decisions with a focus on the good-of-themselves and NOT the-good-of-the-whole. 

We hope our politicians and those with whom we place our trust for the governing of our nations can look at the big picture, and make decisions with a focus on what is best for our country as a whole.

Once again, we have "small' minded and not morally developed individuals who can only "micro" resolve issues without looking at the impact these "resolutions" have on the entire country.

We need "bigger thinkers" in charge of our "important corporations and our government offices.  I have serious reservations about placing my confidence in our current elected officials. 

Our current administration was not elected by a country whose people were coming from a position of strength.  Because of this, the promise of change appealed to the desperate masses.  Now we must live with the result.  This current Jerry Springer-esque approach to governing our country is complete with all the drama that low brow sniping, over-spending, scandal, & fraud provides.  All we need is a juicy sex scandal to complete the stereotype.  No doubt, this will be forthcoming!

I look forward to a more sophisticated and moral government fully aware that currently it appears that I hope for too much!
