Power corrupts. Corruption erodes trust.

How do you put people in power without corruption ?

You give them a tight set of rules to follow and limit their power.... with something like a constitution.

You see how it took a mere 200 years for that to get corrupted ?

Change is inevitable. I merely hope to slow the change caused by corruption by doing what I can to prevent it.

The only way to stop or slow corruption is by shining light on it. I support all efforts to increase transparency. Put all those spreadsheets online so people can audit each other. Perhaps it is inevitable still, but it’s the best chance we have.
