A wiseman (my grandfather) once told me that money (like power) is merely a tool, a tool to live your life with, build your hopes and dreams with, help others with. When you conduct your life so that power becomes the most important desire in your life (hence your God) then it corrupts. Cheers, Bob When power becomes your God it turns to evil.

Look at what happened with lucifer. By trying to be God he was corrupted absolutely. But then again that is the same as saying God, who is absolute power, must be absolutely corrupted.<br/><br/>You are right. This is abviously a knock at leadership and possibly the reason that today society does not trust people in power. This mistrust has been hardwired into the enlightenment. It is really giberish.<br/><br/>Josh In an abstract sense power does corrupt. Look at what happened with lucifer. By trying to be God he was corrupted absolutely.
