  • Just because you're good at rising to power or getting elected doesn't

    From David P@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 12 10:28:34 2023
    Just because you're good at rising to power or getting elected doesn't mean you're good at solving problems. You have to be honest to solve problems; you don't have to be honest to get elected. All top politicians should have a job requirement to attend
    regular meetings of a spiritual recovery program, to learn to be more honest and less selfish. It works for that other group of chronic troublemakers (alcoholics and addicts), so it'll work for anyone!

    Interesting view.
    As to the first sentence, I agree.
    It was unusual quirk of fates and events that put
    Winston Churchill into the UK Prime Minister ship
    and Harry Truman into the USA Presidency.
    They both hugely shaped the current world.
