Sometimes the leader is able to give some advice, shepherd his flock to better things and sometimes he just sits there sucking off the host.

Our leaders make sure we don't get invaded by Russia, China or anywhere that has a powerful leader who can shepherd his flock into attacking us. Or are trying to close down other parasites who live off our work. We call them pirates.

I dislike Governments as much as the next man. Just realised no one so far has come up with a workable alternative. I wish they would. Until then, they're all we have to keep the mob from our doors.
