Among the Thieves

I was looking up quotes from Lawrence Of Arabia and found this one particularly apt.

T.E. Lawrence: There may be honor among thieves, but there’s none in politicians.

    Now…there’s a truism. I don’t know why I’m even bothering to comment.

    Politicians are mainly those who seek power over others. (There are some exceptions, but they are far too few.)

    So, another truism applies: “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
