We too easily forget the power given by elected office. Women have not been given as much power as men have but that will one day be changed. A person who is paranoid, greedy, evil, stupid, unscrupulous or many other negative qualities can ruin lives. Even those not elected, but with power of persuasion, experience built to pretend credibility (like Madoff)), seem to have no end of control over the lives of innocent, trusting people. They easily and unconscionably destroy them and the people who depend on them.
A friend sent me this You Tube URL of Edward R. Murrow on 3-9-1954. It is well worth watching since there are fewer and fewer of us left who remember this day and Murrow's words.
