You know, I changed my mind what I was talking of is control. power is different. Just becuase I am sub doesnt mean i am not powerful. I am , you know.

Power in the political sense is oft decried 'round these parts.........

'Cultural boundaries of humour at play, I suppose. The English propensity toward all things cryptic tends not to travel particularly well beyond our shores. Never mind.

As you were.

Good word.

Absolute Power Corupts Absolutely.

But if Knowledge is Power and Knowing is is half the battle then why am I trying to be so smart?

Oft-cited, but what truth is there in that statement? Where's the evidence? What is the measure of corruption?

I suppose it depends on the individual.

Some will think they can change the world; others will live in a state of hopelessness.

Those of us somewhere in the middle of the road will understand that while we have the power to direct our lives, and make a difference to those around us, there are limiting factors; for example, knowledge, country of birth etc.
