Society So Askew
One of the reasons Americans invest so much in hope that their dreams will be fulfilled by Wall Street water boys, is the invisibility of authentic leadership for change. It exists, mind you, in almost every community, but is denied access to resources by career poseurs who court the cult philanthropique, and is thus marginalized from the mainstream milieu.
Without resources, authentic leadership is unable to build sustainable infrastructure, and continuity is largely hit and miss.
Under these circumstances, authentic leadership is relegated to preventing mischief by the corporate chosen, occasionally scoring popular victories over the perpetual felons and criminally insane that populate the political parties of power. Operating in a society so askew, who can blame them for enjoying a little sabotage now and then?
