Sanford: You make a great point regarding persons who seek power over others.  Some persons are able to fill such positions with humility, compassion and genuine concern for the community. Some use it to benefit themselves financially. Some use the power to advance a nefarious agenda.   Some just enjoy the Power. 

I greatly enjoy Groucho Marx's comment that he'd "never join any club that would have him as a member." and  I've always felt the best politicians would be those who would never want to be politicians.  regards, Gary
