(Herbert Read)

We cannot easily forgive another for not being ourselves. Emerson

I will buy with you, sell with you, talk with you, walk with you, and so
following; but I will not eat with you, drink with you, nor pray with you.

Shylock, The Merchant of Venice

The Use and Abuse of Power

Many of you have been surprised to learn that an innocent woman (Dawn
Rowan) can have her property ‘legally’ stolen by the Australian
Government. Not only that: Five S.A. Government departments ‘lost’ the
relevant cohort of documents before the court-case began. Was anyone
prosecuted for that? No. A thick folder of many of these documents –
carefully pasted together from quotes in other memos – was stolen from a
friend’s house where they were lodged for safe-keeping (nothing else was
taken). Who would have done that? [1]

Reinhold Niebuhr used to say that the worst evils in the world are
perpetrated by ‘good’ people who do not know they are not doing good.
The evil in institutions is greater than the sum of the evil of the
individuals within them (Robert Merton).
