Power should not be concentrated in the hands of so few and powerlessness in the hands of so many.

The almost insoluble task is to let neither the power of others nor our own powerlessness stupefy us.

The 'democracy gap' in our politics and elections spells a deep sense of powerlessness by people who drop out do not vote or listlessly vote for the 'least worst' every four years and then wonder why after every cycle the 'least worst' gets worse.

Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.
