It isn't about the money but the color of those who do the work.

Why not? Humans are not superior, just hairless apes with dangerous weapons.

Has this been verified as real and not an AI creation? I would love it to be real!

As true today as it was in 1887, and maybe more so.

The infallibility of the Pope means that the Church cannot err, but it does not mean that Popes do not err. The temptation to cover up crimes and to defend authority rather than truth is one of the greatest dangers in history.

Yours very truly,
Acton

If there is any presumption it is against the holders of power, and the more the power the stronger the presumption.

You would hang a man of no position for a venial crime that you would not hang a king for. If a king committed the same offence as a common man, you would not treat him as you treat the common man.

That is the point at which the negation of Catholicism and the negation of Liberalism meet and keep high festival, and the end learns to justify the means.

still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority.

There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.

If there is any presumption it is the other way against holders of power, increasing as the power increases.

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority;

Lord Acton to Mandell Creighton April 5, 1887

Dear Creighton,

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

-- Theodore Roosevelt, 1918

Why not look at my first response? You will understand why you're a dumbasse.

You pick a fight, expect to get hit! Get off your witch's perch, you pompous twat!

Again, none of you know me, so you can close the cunt show down.

You do not know me, so STFU! Feel sorry for yourself for being a judgmental asshole! This was in response to hers. I was agreeing with her, and she went all cunt.

Thank you!
