When Moses was raised as an Egyptian prince, was he not "riding high?" And was he not ignoring Israel? The parallel is so obvious - how can you simultaneously point it out and not see it?

And your assertion that royalty or those raised with royalty can't be flawed? Please tell me that was tongue in cheek! Or are you going to tell me Paris Hilton, Charlie Sheen, the Krazy Kardashian Klan (sorry, couldn't resist going KKK) - none of these people are doofuses because they were raised as princes and princesses? If this is honestly your worldview how can you stand to live in America? Wouldn't you be happier in a country with a monarchy and a caste system?

Watch a movie like "The King's Speech".  Sometimes people who do great things do it more because it is thrust upon them than because they are great people or great leaders.
