Author Notes
Author note:
"Famous" people (those in the public eye for some attribute or position) always attract attention. There will be those who love them and those who hate them for their skills or perceived lack of them. Who are the corrupt ones - the leaders or the followers, the lovers or the haters? The finger of blame can be pointed BY a leader or AT a leader. How can a person avoid being corrupted by power? Everyone at the top seems to get tainted by it.
"Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely." -- An observation that a person's sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases. The statement was made by Lord Acton, a British historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Nothing changes much. Now here we are again.
