I needed a place to park my thoughts, explorations, strange links and most importantly: be able to share it. Kind of like "The Ring," right?
NYC is no longer my home, but the world is my oyster and it's tasty!

As a continuation from a previous post, here are the leaders associated to the answers:
A] Franklin Delano Roosevelt
B] Winston Churchill
C] Adolf Hitler
Maybe I’ll do this again with a more obscure set of leaders…
I took this from Paulo Coelho’s blog, where he adds:
“So what then is leadership? The encyclopedia defines it as an individual’s capacity to motivate others to seek the same objective. The bookstores are full of texts on this theme, and the leaders are normally portrayed in brilliant colors, with enviable qualities and supreme ideals. The leader is to society as the “master” is to spirituality. This, however, is not absolutely true (in either case).
Our big problem, especially in a world that is growing more and more fundamentalist, is not allowing people in prominent positions to commit human mistakes.
We are always in search of the perfect ruler.
We are always looking for a pastor to guide and help us find our way.
The truth is that the great revolutions and the progress made by humanity were brought about by people just like us.
We only need to have the courage to make a key decision at a crucial moment.”
What do you folks think? is he right?
Given profile of three contemporary world leaders is it possible to choose the best one purely from pre-election data? Have a go:
Candidate A: associated w/witchdoctors and often consulted astrologists. Had two mistresses. Wife was a Lesbian. Smoked a lot. Drank 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Candidate B: never managed to hold down a job due to arrogance. Slept the whole am. Used opium at school, & considered a bad student. Drank a glass of brandy every am.
Candidate C: was decorated a hero. Vegetarian & did not smoke. Discipline was exemplary. Rarely drank. Stayed w/same woman during moments of glory and defeat.
Which would you choose?
