I can see what you're saying. My point was not so much that humans are inherently evil. My point being the best support for those who want to be in power is making sure there are controls, checks and balances. Wickedness in high places is not a new concept.

Humans are emotional. We easily believe lies. It takes us a longtime to realize we are living like slaves. We don't even know our own history. We don't know where we come from or where we are going. A people like that will find it a struggle to do and be good. Most of us strive to be a good, loving person. Many of us make it. But, many at this time still struggle with doing what's right. So many still can't tell a truth from a lie.

It's where humanity is at this time imho. We're in a growth state. As a species we must grow up!
