Tonight around the post-curling game post-mortem table (yeah we lost again) the talk turned to that guy in town that everyone knows as a jerk and an asshole. He has power. He makes decisions. A lot of people think he makes bad decisions. No one thinks he's an idiot - no, he's too smart for that - but they do think he's lazy, self-serving, arrogant, negligent, maybe even vengeful. They think he's swayed by relationships and expedience. They think that some people must like him, because someone's always getting what they want, at the expense of someone else, and it sure looks like that guy is behind it.
Do you know this guy? Yeah? I do too. Sometimes he might be me. Sometimes I think it's all right that a lot of people think that guy exists as a jerk and an asshole. Sometimes I think a lot of people are right. But I'd bet that there are a reasonable number of times when a lot of people (altogether and all at once) are wrong.
