But, not wanting me to think of him as a thief, he came clean and told me that there was no real tooth fairy. While I was happy that he explained that to me, I still, to this day, have a slight doubt about everything he tells me, even if I know he is telling the truth, like when he tells me that Santa Claus is real. I can think of numerous times where legal forces failed to live up to their word. Professors are guilty as well. Most of the time when I finish a course and look back at what I was supposed to learn, I wonder whether or not I had actually attended the right class.
Politicians have no right to complain about their image in the public.
They did, after all, help to mold this image of a two-faced weak leader trying to deceive voters and the world. But they are not solely to blame. Each of us has, at one point or another, deceived someone under our command and thus helped perpetuate the idea that politicians are as greasy as a Marriott Dinner.
