I'm not arguing on that, I agree power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. There are a few like the ACLU that are legitimate altruists maybe. My "condescendence" if thats what you call it, is that people love to complain about injustices but have no plan to fight it, they just like to complain. I'm more the AA type -
The serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
