Anyway the same is true of abuse of power. Powerful people are limited in the abuse they can do, not by rules, or by laws, but by who they are and the respect they have for their office.

That ought to give you a little jolt of terror but it also explains a lot.

There is no perfect set of rules that can't be twisted into something ugly.

This is not to say we shouldn't try, but it's always about the people who hold the power and mutual respect.
