(47,992 posts)than most people can imagine, so your idea of just getting rid of the corruption is an over-simplification.
Real power doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. It means the opposite of that, because you can hurt people who don't deserve that, so if you're justifying your power with righting wrongs, doing more, or at least avoidable, wrongs won't create that justification. Ergo, the tasks are about teasing out who is who amongst the guilty and the innocent and helping the innocent FIRST. Everyone ASSUMES they know EVERYTHING that he is/has/or ever can do and THAT IS NOT THE CASE. Everyone assumes they know absolutely everything about his actions and at the same time they yell about the bias in our media sources. Now, what is your hypothesis about why these last two facts are true?
"We know everything we need to know about PO in order to come to conclusion x." and "All media lies."
You tell me why this contradiction is sooooooooooooooo common, please.
