Catos Letter No. 25 Considerations on the destructive Spirit of arbitrary Power. With the Blessings of Liberty, and our own Constitution Thomas Gordon (Saturday, April 15, 1721) Power is like fire; it warms, scorches, or destroys, according as it is watched, provoked, or increased.

Ignorance, naivety and selfishness feeds this fire more and more everyday. I feel helpless since I can not get through to so many people.
