    Excellent story and one that needs to be heard more often, especially here in the DC area.

    And I'm reminded of Plato who also told us that the men who you would most like to rule are the ones who want that power the least, while those who thirst after that position and that power are the ones who are least deserving of it.

    The story of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus is a good example of what a leader should be, but rarely is.

    So now that West Wing is being cancelled does that mean that Martin Sheen will run for president?
