Jeb Bush and the whole election debacle

George W and his cronies.

This arose as a quotation by Lord Acton in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

William Pitt the Younger, The Earl of Chatham and British Prime Minister from 1766 to 1778, is sometimes wrongly attributed as the source. He did say something similar though, in a speech to the UK House of Lords in 1770:

"Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it"

I would say "power is corrupt". It is an inevitablity for the human race. Power is mostly gained through corrupt acts. Which came first the chicken or the egg?

The quote: "If power corrupts, then absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Then I think of George Bush.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
People who are in positions of power should realize that God is above them when it comes to more power and He's watching.

If "power can corrupt" and "knowledge is power" therefore by the transitive property in mathmatics, "Knowledge Corrupts"
