aIf you *knew* you were going to be recorded in all history books: would not your legacy be always at the forefront of your mind? >It's a rare person who gains power and isn't corrupted by it. that is what they say, but I have lately been rethinking parts of that. *Our* society hates leaders--Kings etc. were held in high esteem by their people in general. They were leaders because they were the best (not this mess)--afrer generations of breeding plus teaching (nurture and nature) dynasties were formed to conform to keeping the best in leadership. All this is imperfect and falls apart (it is not some maxim, or physical law, and human social order is always pseudo-experiment--but our society is trained to *hate* leaders). think about it--I understand the proletariat idea and that all men are created equal: but look to what it has degraded into--communism and white hate. Races are huge families; if the leaders of civilization and royals get to the chopping block, how far of a cry is it that the race who built those civilizations is next? see ya
