Reading the book "Too Much Sun (a coming of age) by Lee Old, quite a weird but interesting book. Its about this 18 year old Barry who leaves his rich home as he hates his parents and goes to Alaska, cutting shrubs in a gold mine, and he is trying to make out what his life should be.... Below is an interesting view of his from the book
You know I think I’d rather be ruled by Napolean or Caesar somehow because if a dictator follows the things he does want to do, he’s doing it for some purpose that he believes in, and if he’s a good man he’ll usually believe in good things, but if you’re run by a bunch of lobbyists you won’t be able to accomplish anything good even if you are a great man, because you always have to listen to what they have to say or you won’t be able to get into office, and the lobbyists are usually interested in personal advancement, otherwise they wouldn’t be lobbyists.
