"Power games at some level can be amusing, even silly, but as in the case of September 11th, carried to an extreme, they can become deadly. In the years 1975 to 1979, Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia. During this period 1.7 million people were murdered; that equaled 21% of the population.  On December 13, 1937, the Chinese city of Nanking was taken by Japanese forces. In the massacre that followed, 300,000 Chinese were slaughtered, and 20,000 women were raped, including girls less than ten years old and women over seventy."

 "This power addictive leadership has moved through our culture at a rapid rate.  The question is from where does this behavior stem? Who are the culprits?  The simple answer is that this nefarious behavior initiates from the 'bad' behavior of our political leadership. Too often those who hold powerful positions in government are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their ends. Lies, sixty-second ads filled with twisted truths, bribes, character assassination, 'legal' trickery, distortion of the rules of order, and scare tactics that instill fear into the public (when, in truth, no serious danger is at hand) are all commonplace. The American public is so used to this type of behavior that we are immune to it and actually consider it 'normal.'  Thus, bad behavior is now acceptable
behavior."

 "At mid-year in 2003, there were over 15 million people unemployed in our country, and the numbers are growing.  America is losing over a million jobs a year, for statistics show that three million jobs have disappeared since the year 2000. The power games played by CEO's and mega-corporations have reached such an absurd state that our nation's very economic stability is in question."
