It simply fails to take human nature into account. In W. Somerset Maugham’s novel The Moon and Sixpence, a roman à clef based loosely on the life of the artist Paul Gauguin, the narrator asks the principal character Charles Strickland about his views on Kant’s categorical imperative: "Act so that every one of your actions is capable of being made into a universal rule." To which Strickland. replies, "I never heard it before, but it's rotten nonsense."

That's kind of funny since all politics today are built on deception and lies. Or can you say otherwise?
