All governments suffer from a recurring problem.
Power attracts pathological personalities.
It is not that power is what corrupts, but
Power is like a magnet to the corruptible.
There is nothing new under the sun.
It's been that way from the beginning.
It was that way in the past, it is that way now,
And it will be that way in the future, maybe,
But only if we let Liberty and Justice die.
Remembering the past is not much different
Than imagining the future if the cycle be unbroken.
"But if my people, who are called by my name,
Will humble themselves and pray and
Seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
Then I will hear from heaven, I will forgive their sins
And I will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
