"I am not going to be able to persuade my colleagues to do the right things, so I am just going to have to create pain."

4. Isn't that what is meant by "democracy"?

Forcing people to choose your path by making it painful to do otherwise? :sarcasm: Anybody who speaks like that should immediately be forced to resign; it's so antithetical to what American Freedom is all about.
