What power does a big stake and lots of liquid coins give over others ?
One can bribe people to ignore others or support others that would not get supported otherwise , or even pay someone like a hitman to get rid of someone .
And really , that is all there is , it is power yes ,.. but wide open to corruption and greed . Where compared to that the power of the word and truth are immovable objects in the flow of currencies when based in ethics and common sense .

Some will understand this truth - others never will ...for a multitude of personal reasons/experiences.
