I couldn't lead. I used to believe I'd be good as the "Ear to
  the King" as it were. But no, I'm nothing special. I'm doing
  what I do, because I'm where I've put myself, based upon the
  choices that I've had available to me, and not always rational
  in total, but 'made sense at the time'.

  Anyway, that's off topic. But still, I doubt I could do better
  than you at leadership. I believe in the flawed-ness of
  humanity; we won't get perfect leaders, but hopefully we can
  elect ones whose flaws have the least negative impact.
