We face the mind-set of politicians who want to make a name for themselves as they serve or the politicians that enjoy the "perks of the slot" and sneak around getting every thing that they can.

The ego of a maniac seems to be closely resembling some politicians today, that say what they want w/o thinking, because it does not matter. Or, the politicians that stand in as the "front man" while their backs are being rubbed by those in control.
