What a conundrum it is that most people
think of themselves as discerning of human
character and of course observation and
experience is a great aid in leading people
to the conclusion that the must untrustworthy
of professions is that of politicians, yet even
knowing this they obligingly vote for the most
charismatic of candidates who are blatantly
egotistical, accomplished liars, hypocritical
authoritarian, rapacious and manipulative to
the end degree. With rare exceptions politicians
seem to be born to the role, gifted with requisite
characteristics yet claim their sole motivation
is inspired by service to the public weal. They
have no real need to practice to deceive since
it evolves so naturally within their psyche.
Despising the typecast candidate, the public
peers through their rose-coloured lenses to
distinguish their choice as dedicated and oh so
different, then when in office repent at leisure.
