The 'Dirty Fucking Hippies' were right, and we still are.

(7,018 posts)3. Your quote is very true, but the relatively few whose "Love of Power" is stronger have
nearly always been on top, because they are more greedy and aggressively ambitious
to get there -- regardless of how many others get hurt or even must die. This has
been so since the beginning of history. It's the few who have always been holding
back the many, and things will change only when these same few somehow evolve
into something better. Who knows when that day will come?

Philosopher (forget who now). I've had a lot of people comment on it.
