Strong doesn't mean large. I just mean has the ability to act decisively on behalf of its constituents. But yes. They will always corrupt. Positions of power rarely attract good people. My position is that governments cannot be kept out since they have strategic advantages, so how do we work with them while they still hold to some ideals? How do we help them maintain those ideals for as long as possible? And how do we throw off the yoke when they become despotic?
