"Everybody wants to rule the world." When I hear the words I think of the song by Tears for Fears that came out in 1985. And while the statement may not be true of EVERYONE, there are enough people who wish they were in charge of everything that we all know a few. Most of these people, fortunately, never get the chance to rule over much of anything. Despite having intelligence, charm and charisma, narcissism, ambition, and/or a lack of morals - most people never achieve great power. They have to be in the right place at the right time. Adolf Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander the Great - none of them may have amounted to much if they were born in the 1980s in American suburbia. They would probably have been diagnosed with A.D.H.D.
