My dear arturo, you are absolutely right that he who has the controls, (gold, bat, ball, whatever) makes the rules.

Having been in a position where I have had almost absolute power over most controllable aspects of my own life, and considerable power over many significant aspects of many other people's lives, for the past 30 years, I have learned a great deal about power and its temptations. While I certainly do not believe that absolute power inevitably corrupts absolutely, I do believe that those who hold power must be ever on guard that they do not accidentally slip into the habit of administering it without total regard to the effects that so doing will have upon others.

To fail herein always produces unwanted and not particularly pleasant results.

Now, my darling arturo can you please go back to arturospeak. I am too old to deal with such drastic change.

Y tu mi amor eres bello y tienes todo razon.
