For a number of years, I've been wondering/pondering about whether power might be at the root of all sin: grasping for it, misusing it once we have it, etc. Can the "first sin" in the Garden be defined as a grasping for power that humans ought not to have? I personally think so. So thanks for the strong emphasis on the power that "power" has in our lives, as people and as a nation. It's a terribly important principle.
Thanks for this.
