   @futurebird If they were better people they would not have sought power.

     What if the great and the powerful really were better people? Morally perceptive. Immune to petty, vengeful and base impulses?

     Cut from a cloth of a superior moral fiber?

     All the things they promise us they must be to be trusted with so much power?

     What if, rather than corrupting, or simply amplifying normal human failings power really did give humans the grace to be better? Wouldn't that be a different world than the one that we see?
