The Clinton mis-speak

Hillary Clinton admits that she 'mis-spoke'. Is that a new word for telling a lie.

The story about her being under fire in a war zone is funny and sad. But it is a great lesson for anyone who thinks that leaders - all classes of leaders, are any different than the rest of society.

Terms such as 'role model' and 'a born leader' should be removed from our vocabulary.

Most people in power, in all areas of society, get their 'adrenaline rush' by controlling and manipulating people - and the more subtle it is done, the the faster runs the adrenaline.

And we all continue to be fooled
