Understandable.

Personally, I think *ALL* large-scale politics eventually becomes evel,
be it right-wing, left, Green, socialist lintpickers party, or whatever.
Any time people reach that kind of level of power they forget that their
original goal was to serve the people (if it ever was), and start
focusing on perpetuating and increasing their power at all costs.

I sometimes have this feeling I'd have gotten on just fine with Thomas
Jefferson.  He was just as cynical about governments as I am.
