This is the whole the-road-to-hell-is-paved-with-good-intentions principle. A good person starts out saying, "If only I had a louder voice, then I could really change things for the better." Then, "If only I had some legislative power, then I could change things for the better." Then, "If only I had more power, then I could change things for the better." Then, "If only I had absolute power, then I could change things for the better." Then they are corrupt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:180526 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
