Power Corrupts

I am extremely interested in the sources and exercise of power. How all of us are persuaded to do and accept things contrary to our best interests. Like voting Republican!!! Going to war or working for a cigarette manufacturer. Believing the mainstream media.

It seems to me that we are run by large public and private sector institutions which pretend to serve us when mostly they serve themselves. There's got to be a way to hold them more accountable for the harm they can cause.

The Internet holds the most promise but it is too diffused.
