    Personality characteristics peculiar to those in high public office, politicians etc?

    Interesting question, as I have always thought there was something slightly sociopathic about people in those positions. Maybe a little bit of narcissism thrown in for good measure. There definitely does seem to be something they all have in common.

    I am 50-ish. My brother was hit by a car while riding a bicycle and nearly lost his leg from compound fracture and spent an entire year in the hospital. My husband was hit by a car while riding a bicycle, thrown over a bridge from the impact. He suffered broken neck, arm, leg and multiple...

    Why do my mum and I argue so much? PLEASE HELP! x?

    She is envious of your life and all your potential. Not your problem. Keep living your life. You can do anything you set your mind to. She wants to limit you to being as miserable as she is. She made her choices, you make yours.

    will my failing grades affect my college acceptance ?

    The grades will affect your overall GPA. It really depends on which school(s) to which you apply. I hate to say it, but in this day and age, it may also depend a great deal on whether your parents can pay your tuition and you don't need any financial aid from the school. I wouldn't count on...

    most people argue that all of the world's problems stem from"capitalists and...

    The world has always had problems. There is never any one thing (or three things) to blame. People will always find some thing or some one to blame. That's what led to World War II. Guess they were wrong there, huh? We are part of the process. There are people, and perhaps you will be...
