I do believe that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, in Ray Davies' Moneygoround, and that when you meet the new boss, he's likely to be the same as the old boss. I also believe that although man isn't perfectible, he's improvable and that, as Churchill said, democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others, and while the inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings, the inherent vice of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries (except for the animals who are more equal than others).
