On Leadership

To show total lack of compassion and mercy makes a person completely unworthy for political office. It is no place for the reckless or incautious. A simple request to have mercy does not in any way make someone nasty, and to say otherwise is, frankly, cruel and unclassy. One's period of chieftaincy is always best remembered when the rules of common decency are wisely followed with proficiency. The task of a true leader is to protect and respect, and a mature leader understands that nobody's perfect.
