Where Is Cincinnatus?
March 25th, 2008 by Wiley CodyThe popular adage goes: “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
The Bene Gesserit have a slightly different perspective - and one that I’ve shared for some time.
“Power attracts the corruptible”
It’s not that good people are ruined by power; it’s that good people don’t want power leaving only the bad people to crave it. There are always exceptions, but this seems to be the rule.
We need Jack Ryan. We need an American Cincinnatus.
