This is interesting to me. As fully as I can determine Lord Acton
did NOT say this quote this way. It is a kind of restatemant of his
most famous quote---Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Given TRP's focus on power and power relationships.....
Lord A. has varaitions about the moral uselessness of any, all, elected officials......
