Too many people confused politics with government.
Sure, they are intertwined, irrevocably so. But in all my
years doing deals, shaking hands, taking meetings, I’ve met a whole lot of
people who were playing politics.
Far fewer people who actually wanted to govern.
I made an effort to seek them out, to find those rare,
delicate flowers who were looking to make the country, the world, a better
place to live. I sought them out, brought them under my wing, got them to listen
to me.
And either corrupted, blackmailed or just plain crushed
them. Couldn’t risk them winning out…
