I could never understand why the best people in my community hated politics. The answer was simple. Good people do not crave power or recognition. When we finally managed to attract one very decent and selfless individual, a man who became Mayor, he absolutely detested the job.
Only ego maniacs need apply. Thus it seems, politics attracts the worst of us.
