"Of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people, commencing demagogues and ending tyrants."
- Alexander Hamilton, 1787.
In short, Hamilton is stating the old adage that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Sounds like a nice case for term limits. Think maybe if Congressmen and Senators KNEW they were leaving, they might do the right thing for the country, without worrying about being re-elected? Then again, maybe not... For some people, it begins and ends with 'Dear John' (shot in SC!) star Amanda Seyfried. Then again, Carol has a huge crush on her co-star, Channing Tatum. To each his/her own.
