look at Caligula....you gotta think he started out as bat shit crazy as a kid....but then he is given the power of life or death over an empire of people...and that was like throwing gasoline on a fire he just let his sanity run wild and he did far worse than raping infants. if there is such a thing...
Shaka Zulu...would kill people if their shadow fell on his shadow...they guy had like 3000 wives and didn't have sex with any of them, made his elite corps of warriors abstain from sex...when his mother died he decreed all milk from all cattle was to be poured on the ground for a year, no one was allowed to plant a seed for a year....he plunged the entire Zulu nation into famine, and sat by and watched them starve..eventually he own relatives killed him....he was a loon...history is full of this stuff....we haven't evolved dude....Don't even get me started on the degeneracy of the Vatican..
Having that level of power knowing you are untouchable..Rothschild, the Queen Mother the Pope,the President of a world power...that is like being a living God...that level of power can really screw your head up if it is the least bit wobbly....historically..absolute power has gone hand in glove with degneracy.
