Indeed. Those MBAs that Gene refers to are merely the front rank
of a group that is ready and eager to jump in and act just like
those billionaires if they get the chance. Such people have been
the shock troops for demagogues throughout history.
Nothing discloses real character like the use of power.
It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can
bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man
really is, give him power. This is the supreme test.
It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute
power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy.
