<ot> G'day Stitch & all - re: Soros, he is certainly a complex individual. Stitch, did you by chance see the interview of Soros on 60 Minutes [the US version, not the Australian one <g>] In a nutshell, it was structured to contrast the two sides of him, i.e., an amoral hedger vs a bleeding heart philanthropist. And the interviewer [I think it is Steve Croft - or maybe Leslie Stall [sp?]] drilled deeper in to his psyche regarding his experience of being an Hungarian Jew in WWII. Fascinating!
Anyway, in my mind, he may not be so different. It is more sheer laziness to view others [or maybe even oneself] as a "One Dimensional Man." If one can get over that, it is easier to see all the *great leaders* as human.
