Obsession with Personalities | Clarissa's Blog
What is even weirder than the obsession with personalities is the assumption by the average person that they have a handle on 'the truth' so that they can detect when a politician "is lying". Lying is supposed to be the thing that corrupts the character, which in turn creates disasterous political results out of what could have been perfect circumstances. It's just this one tendency -- to lie -- which means we don't have the perfect democratic circumstances we ought to have today.
