Americans say 75% of politicians are corrupted, 70% use political power to hurt enemies. ” “It is said that power corrupts, but actually it’s more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.” -David Brin

Only 75 percent? That seems a bit low...
it'd been higher but some were bribed to be silent, or else.
The corruptible convinced the (relatively) sane people that power corrupts. Relatively because if you let such petty, psychopathic clowns rules over you, you are certainly not sane and you shouldn´t presume to complain when the consequences of that starts to suck big time.

No leaders, no problems. Well, except that no leaders ≠ utopia, you have clowns like Bummer and Herpes Bill.
Power corrupts? It's more comfortable not to do jack shit and of course, to label anyone who doesn´t share such apathy as insane. Oh yes, very comfortable.
New rule for politics: If you want to run for office, you are disqualified.
Can you please Photoshop Harry Reid's face on your avatar, so I don't feel bad if that baby drops the toaster?
