Before some 'riff'raff' goes around claiming Chaim See Tong
should be sued, perhaps he should first understand why Chaim said
that phrase.
He was in fact quoting a statement made in a letter to Bishop
Mandell Creighton in 1887 by one Lord Acton which summarised the
british govt:
'Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power
corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad
men.'
Parallel comparisons can be made of great men
who find it difficult to release the reins of power.
