Do you think culture accounts for relationships more than relationships account
for culture? Or do extended relationships become culture? Does this have
anything to do with geography? If so, how? If not, why call it Eastern culture?
The power to corrupt comes from the desire to do so, not from the magnitude of
the power. It seems to me that people pretend that "power corrupts" so that they
don't have to take responsibility for their own corruption (however weak).
