ABSOLUTE POWER, CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY -MACHIAVELLI [ link to www.phrases.org.uk] Lord Acton was actually the person who said this, although Machiaveli certainly understood the current nature of our republic. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." -- Lord Acton Thanks for the correction.. I have always thought it was G Machiavelli who said this. It is certainly true and he would have understood our current situation. "The Prince" is one of my favorite reads. Mind you, it can be boring as hell at times, but it really points out the state of politics in the world. You have my respect for being willing to slog through it.
