The Emperor Has No Clothes

This is really not anything new to anyone who has followed Salt Lake City Politics for longer than about, oh, six months or so.
It turns out that Mayor Ross "Rocky" Anderson is sort of a difficult guy to deal with at work.

The most telling part, for me at least, is near the end of the article:

Seed also described Anderson as "bored" with being mayor. Anderson has stepped out on what are traditionally viewed as national issues, including environmental work and protesting the president. "He's said he's bored. He's said he's not using his full intellectual capacity as mayor," she said.
Anderson said he is "absolutely not" bored. "I love being mayor."
Anderson - who hasn't decided whether to seek a third term - has said he wants to work on human rights issues when he is out of office. Seed scoffed at the idea.
"He doesn't have the capacity to be empathetic," she said. "He cares about Sudanese refugees. When it comes to people in his life on a daily basis, he says he cares but his actions don't demonstrate any kind of real caring.

I think there are a lot of liberal-leaning people like this who care about people in the abstract, while those closest to them suffer.

When Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, she was asked "What can we do to promote world peace?"

Her response? "Go home and love your family."

That's right--even world peace starts at home.
