RE: Is it time

You're right, your last line particularly, but I also think there's so few leaders (politicians) out there who gain enough support to do much good. Also, once people get into power, those with all the good intentions, they seem to change and focus more on feathering their own nest and those of their buddies. Humans don't seem to be on a good path generally, irrespective of their leaders. I think the world is going to be a terrible place in 50 years...I'll be dead so I won't have to worry about it. I'll be somewhere saying, I told you so. (Or I'll be nowhere depending on what comes after death.)

No matter how righteous a politician is, he easily slips and drowns in the mass of all the others... We had one after 2000. who did not want to side with such political scum at any cost, so he was assassinated in 2003. That's when I knew that in our country, an uncertain, dark future was upon us.

I'll be dead so I won't have to worry about it.
I won't be alive in 50 years either, but I feel bad when I think what kind of world those who come after us will live in.

Yep, assassinations happen, probably more often than we realise. Greed is a powerful force and the actions people take because of it are often reprehensible.
