Power and Corruption

Apr 23, 2006 06:33 AM

Cass,

You say: 

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely. "

I say: 

"Yes. Think of A. Hitler, of B. Mussolini, F. Franco in Spain, and so on. Hence an imperfect democracy,  with its checks and balances  and its liberty of thought, cannot be disdained." 

Regards, Carlos.
