'Extraordinary geniuses make no allowances for ordinary humanity.' - Adolf Hitler.
Hitler was indeed 'an extraordinary genius', of course. Few people can create a scenario in which 50 million innocent people will die!
BUT what he perhaps failed to foresee was that fifth rate politicians of our own era share his thinking by mistakenly seeing themselves described in the opening two words of the quote.
They diminish democracy, are self-serving and their 'higher ideals' are simply more important than anything 'normal' people think!
