politics

Judges 9 - Abimelech used ruthless methods in order to gain power. To kill 70 of your half brothers just to be in a position of leadership is pretty crazy. I kind of compare this type of greed for power to politicians (without the killings of course). But they do all this manuevering and say all this rhetoric just so that they can become a congressman or senator or whatever. Some of them have a genuine desire to do good, but others definately no. Maybe this is a reason why I shy away from certain leadership positions. Because I see so many people exploiting them. Plus I'm a big slacker and don't want the responsibility. :)
