Power, if it has any meaning at all, must refer to control by one human being over another. It makes no sense at all to talk about "power" held by a class as a whole. "Power to the masses" is as oxymoronic as "wealth to the indigent". A working man who develops an intense appetite for power - and succeeds in acquiring such power, would cease to be a working man. -raghu. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
