Subject: BS: Drunk on Power From: GUEST,pdc Date: 22 May 03 - 01:55 PM I don't know whether this essay is a reasoned explanation of GWB's behaviour, or just a mean-spirited exercise. I do know that it's interesting. Drunk on Power |

Subject: RE: BS: Drunk on Power From: GUEST,Clint Keller Date: 23 May 03 - 10:19 PM Sounds like a jazzed up & wordy rephrasing of what Lord Acton said: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" (if I remember rightly). I imagine it's true enough; There's a reason "drunk with power" and "mad with power" are clichés. clint |
