A Sunday “Walkabout”: Some Thoughts About Power and Character
Jonn lets me do a verbal, off-topic “walkabout” here from time to time. What follows is such a ramble – an off-the-wall thought or two that’s not necessarily directly concerned with one of TAH’s normal topics. Consider yourself forewarned. . . . We’ve all heard Lord Acton’s axiom: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power […]
