The thought of it brought a shiver down my spine. Perhaps power always
does and in that lies its appeal. And there are no two ways about
power, no grey area but all black and white. If you want it you want it
all, as much as you can get and where you can get it, but if you don't
want it you are indifferent to the whole thing and simply fail to see
the point.

I think that is quite illuminating and helps me see Lance's points in a
clearer light as a result.
Perhaps but I don't agree with it. For instance I am my own boss and have
the power to do what I want with my business. I don't particularly want to
take over another business or boss someone else about.
I think it leaves it open for people who are indifferent to power using
it - they just don't see the point of 'wanting' it. That is for its own
sake.
