Trying to go down in history for saving the people from disaster and those oh-so-evil companies that drive economic growth.

It's in their interest that the world does well. I never said I trusted politicians, I trust civil servants.

Look at all those dictators... in the case of elected officials, it's all about whether or not the people think you're doing the right thing, even if you're not.

Countries like ours have safeguards, you know. And unlike in some nations, the military and the police work for the state, not the leaders. There is no way in hell a western democracy as they are today would ever become a blatant dictatorship.

So yeah, anyway, dictatorship WILL easily happen when having too much power. That will happen with every human eventually. No exception. It's just the.... "hunger" to more power and complete control or something like that.
