Unless you’re the leader of the pack, the view never changes.

Yes, definitely.
John Q. Adams served in Congress after his presidency. He also defended the slaves in the Amistad case.

It occurs to me we rarely know what others take from their experiences of us. Theoretically, (and probably practically) we are all leaders, but it’s all too easy to lead others astray. Look at Washington DC, for instance. Downhill fast, according to some. I’ll go with with the cats.
