But if that makes you feel better, stick with it. Va pour sa! Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Christiani, Idi Amin, Kim Jung Il,Ghenghis Khan, Kubla Khan, and Mao (and many others) cared not a wit what their prols thought of them.

None of these mass murderers cared about their polling numbers:
1. Mao Zedong
2. Joseph Stalin
3. Adolf Hitler
4. Leopold II of Belgium
5. Hideki Tojo
6. Ismail Enver Pasha
7. Pol Pot
8. Kim Il-sung
9. Mengistu Haile Mariam
10. Yakubu Gowon

Well, not until the prols had the ability to affect their own regime change. We're simply not there yet, and probably never will be. We tend to bring knives to gunfights...
