That's overly simplistic though. Power doesn't cause corruption but it certainly attracts it. Like Edmund Burke said; "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."DocSavagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-20618224065426224822015-07-01T07:50:09.085-04:002015-07-01T07:50:09.085-04:00Lol, that joke is cold.

This makes it low risk, because it's hard to push through legislation that is detrimental to the country as a whole, but it's also low reward because its hard to pass legislation that is beneficial to the country as a whole. This pretty much goes for republics as well.<br /><br />Try looking at what congress accomplishes within a 4 year term, and then look at what short reigning monarchs have achieved within similar time frames.Devinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-46979355698299730482015-05-09T18:28:28.684-04:002015-05-09T18:28:28.684-04:00No, it's lower reward too, as we in the US hav...No, it's lower reward too, as we in the US have been shown repeatedly over the last few years.

Always holding all others in disgust.<br /><br /><br />And worst of all, horribly, devastatingly underestimating his sister. She'll do it all right - she's the kind of ruler who can make that decision. The fact that untold thousands of her own subjects are at risk are all she needs. It's a colder, harder sort of morality than many can stomach. But it's one I understand. I respect her for it...and Luther had better learn the same. Fast.Z.n.
