The quote is "Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely". What he meant was if someone achieve absolute power(no one to answer to) then they have no incentive or motivation to do what is in the best interest of those they rule over. In that case all decisions are typically made to benefit those who have the absolute power. The quote comes from Lord Acton.

Are you referring to the quote "Absolute power corrupts absolutely?" (I think it was Winston Churchill...)

all the aforementioned illustrate their ineptness and corrupting recommendations on a wide-spread foundation. I do wish this united states of america is wide wakeful and on the polls November second to vote all the insanity out of workplace and restore duty to the senate and the congress. we favor to make this president, who has performed no longer some thing yet attempt to smash our tremendous united states of america jointly with his innovative agenda, to get the message that we are mad as hell, and we are no longer going to take it anymore.

************Money REALLY IS The root of ALL Evil***********
By Debra Ackley 2/27/07
Truth be told? If you read ANY type of political or historical books, whether they are recent OR from civil war days... or even back in the days of Micheal Angelo~ YOU will see and be reminded THAT MONEY reeeeeeally IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL~ its not just a cute saying . IT is fact .
GREED has been around for EVER... SELF gain has ALWAYS led people to do wrong even if it COSTS OTHERS THEIR LIVES.
Like the distraction and WASTE of MONEY caused by what I call the anti-smokERS campaign->
"THE GEART AMERICAN SMOKE SCREEN"
The anti-smokERS campaign is JUST a farce to keep us from going after the MONEY MAKING giants and politicians that profit from selling us chemicals in our
food supply ,air, water, oj, milk,candy... you name it.
Yes, cigarette smoke IS a health threat.
HOWEVER, any body that feeds their kids rice-a-roni, mac and cheese or even MILK and peanut butter is introducing toxins and chemicals into them too.
Look up "cotton seed oil". Cotton is GROWN as a TEXTILE, therefore it can be TREATED with chemicals NOT allowed IN OUR FOOD>
THEN... they USE THE SEEDS to make oil FOR our FOODS.
Pesticides, fertilizers and WHO knows what.
THE same TYPE of chemicals that are IN tobacco! THAT is MY point.
USE MY TAX DOLLARS FOR FIGHTING THIS PLEASE!
THEY (government) keeps us all DISTRACTED TO THE REAL THREATS TO OUR WELL BEING by pointing fingers at smokers as the "bad guys". SMOKERS are very visable and all of us are CONSTANTLY being reminded how awful us smokers are.
THAT way we stay way to distracted by THOSE we "see" and NOT band together and attack what is wrong with our own FOOD system, or the polution produced by big business. We ARE a DIVIDED nation in THIS way....
ALL of this protects THE MONEY made by our consumption of ALL THINGS bad for our bodies. Profiting THOSE that have given their SOULS for their OWN profit.
We ARE intentionally divided into two groups battling EACH other instead of ONE LARGE voice to make others listen.
Cancer will grow in ANYbody~ Something triggers it in SOME people. We can not really know which person from what. I personally get paranoid every time I have an Xray or cat scan... HOW do I know which level of radiation will "cause" cancer for "me"?
We don't know.
Certain types of cancers are "born" into our children if we eat proccessed meats like pepperoni, bologna and hotdogs while pregnant. NOT in all babies... but our family lost a three year old with that type of cancer. You just do not know.
ps... did you ever wonder HOW MANY PEOPLE would be out of a JOB...
IF they cured CANCER? How many people would LOSE their cushy office jobs with ALL The perks, ALL payed for BY donations to "cure cancer"... Source(s) Again:
MONEY reeeeeeally IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL~ its not just a cute saying . IT is fact . GREED has been around for EVER... SELF gain has ALWAYS led people to do wrong even if it COSTS OTHERS THEIR LIVES.
