:-), Charisma is not evil in itself...IMO. But coupled with the desire to have power over people, I think it is a breeding ground really bad stuff. Since I don't have any desire to have power over other people, I am probably very well qualified for a job as an ethical politician. But, I would run like hell from the job... here is a list of my favorite books. I would recommend "The Dosadi Experiment" right up their with "The Postman". My nom de SI is from The Dosadi Experiment. "To Reign in Hell" is another incredible book, but hard to find. Message 16199709 "The Dosadi Experiment" - Frank Herbert "Bones of the Moon" - Jonathan Carroll "Outside the Dog Museum" - Jonathan Carroll "Cat's Cradle" - Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (yeah, me too) "Light in August" - William Faulkner "The Postman" - David Brin "To Reign in Hell" - Steven Brust "Dispossesed" - Ursula K. Le Guin "Atlas Shrugged" - Ayn Rand "Interview with a Vampire" - Anne Rice "Another Roadside Attraction" - Tom Robbins
