Given the maelstrom created by the recent revelations of the outrageous conduct by our national intelligence apparatus and its army of politicos and minions, the famous words of Lord Action seem rather appropriate:
'POWER TENDS TO CORRUPT; ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY."
I would like to append the above with a quote from my blog posted on February 6, 2011 ---
"Trust, like the soul, never returns once it is gone."
Is it any wonder that the approval ratings for our political establishment in Washington, D.C. are so fractured and tenuous? I tend to agree with the growing number of astute minds who have suggested that, perhaps, it is time to rethink the merits of a third political party. The growing cost to the country of the current monopoly on political power by the two mainstream parties that dominate the national scene seems rather prophetic, doesn't it? .
