does absolute power always and without fail corrupt absolutely? is there no such thing in truth, honesty, foresight, vision, in leaders? politicians, i wonder, kings and princes, generals and stuff, managers or captains. all of it. i read about small squad combat. i read about tiny little research centers. i read and watch a fellowship of 9. i'm inundated with small squads achieving so much with so little. of boy geniuses. the constant idea of tradition weighing down innovation, of invention and creative solely the domain of the outsider, of the nimble and the quick. it's the question that remains, which side of the envelop do you want to be on?
