(76,622 posts)Megalomania describes an obsessive desire for power, wealth, or fame, characterized by delusions of grandeur, inflated self-importance, and exaggerated beliefs about one's own abilities or status, often seeing others as inferior tools. While not a formal diagnosis today (replaced by Narcissistic Personality Disorder), it reflects a tenuous grasp on reality, a need for control, and a potential for grandiose schemes, seen in historical figures and fictional villains.
This is fucking insane. When does this all stop? He is comparing himself to George I can not tell a lie
Washington?
I keep thinking about the childs story of The Emperors New Clothes.
"The Emperor's New Clothes" is a famous folktale by Hans Christian Andersen about a vain emperor tricked by two swindlers who pretend to weave him magical clothes invisible to the stupid or unfit, leading him and his court to parade naked in public until a child points out the truth, revealing themes of vanity, pride, and the courage to speak truth to power. The story serves as a cautionary tale about groupthink and the fear of appearing foolish, where everyone lies about seeing the non-existent clothes to protect their reputation, until the innocence of a child breaks the illusion.

(6,099 posts)a long time ago when it still cost only $10 for geezers and lasts until we go to the great beyond. The photo on mine is a desert scene with a blooming desert plant of some kind and I dont recall being given a choice. Just pay the $10 and get the next card in the stack. Easy peasy.

(2,951 posts)The picture is credited to Cheryl Decker, and it was taken in/at Grand Staircase Escalante-
But they don't list the plant's name.

(6,099 posts)Likewise my spouses card. Not from lack of use. Mostly used at Gulf Islands National Seashore for camping and beach time. It is a treasured privilege that we take pride in using. We should do everything we can to protect our parks, seashores and forests. Let no one take these special places away from us. And keep making these passes accessible to the citizens of our nation. It is a wonderful benefit of our citizenship.

I would rather pay the fee than look at his face or own anything with his face on it. That will get hard soon as he is putting himself on as much as he can.
How hard is it going to be to replace this shit?
