That's what drives a lot of people these days, the power trip. Of course, it overlooks the long-term damage and salting of the fields that comes with being obstinate, obnoxious, ignorant, or unwilling to accept the facts or their own human flaws.

- scaramanga 5y agoYeah, recently Chun Doo Hwan died, he went all the way to his death never apologizing for the Gwangju massacre, and insisting that the whole thing was a communist plot to besmirch his good character. There are only consequences if someone makes there be consequences. And, as a species, we're generally quite bad at letting the worst among us not just roam free, but rise to the very top. Edit: Chun Doo Hwan, not Park Chung Hee, getting my dictators mixed up, sorry.
