DarkmoonIkonoklast's Journal - Is there, then, no room in leadership for humility?

   Are we so immature as an electorate that we will only consider trusting a leader who exhibits the unbelievable arrogance of god-like omniscience?

   Do we still, nearly a decade into the 21st century, require the infallible, all-knowing Father to lead us through life by the hand?

   When I was a youth, I was taught that one of the surest signs of maturity was the ability to say "I was wrong", to apologize without any particular hope of forgiveness, but to do so simply as the right, as the responsible, thing to do. Never mind whether or not the outcome could be predicted, admit your ignorance, admit your wrong, and move on...

   Are "We, the People" too immature, too irresponsible, to do the right thing?

   Or are we, as SOME would have it, above such humanity, too good for such humility?
