"Power' is like toddy as one consumes it more and more, a stage comes when he "Takes off"!
If he keeps drinking, ere long, he falls unconscious and
becpmes oblivious of his own nakedness and the mockery of people around him!
Same is the case, particularly, with our politicians.
It is said that one should have either "the fear of God" or that "of the people" !
Benjamin Franklin has said,"eternal vigilence is the price of liberty!"
In other words, the insurance of our continuous enjoyment of our "Freedom" requires us to pay the premium, namely, continuous awakennmess to preserv it.
