[Gasification] Quote

[Max Kennedy]

Kathleen,

Am replying off list, though correct about the author of that exact quote the concept has been around for much longer.  So the intent of the quote indicating we haven't learnt much over thousands of years of history is accurate because we continue to make the same mistakes as our ancestors.

Has anyone mentioned that it wasn't Caesar and it wasn't 2000  years ago that 
the observation: "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts  absolutely" was 
penned?  Try Lord Acton.  Mid 19th century to the dawn  of the 20th.
