I just realised

Mankind is just to arrogant in itself to see the simple truth as power corrupts

Any form of power corrupts people and power has gone into those off religious faith.

Indeed

If you were given power, in form, would you take it?

Yup I definately would and I know it would corrupt me

I wouldn't, mainly because I wouldn't know what to do.

I would start by reforming the British Empire

If you did that them some other countries would like to say something.

Yup oh well

When you do make a powerful empire, I'd recommend conquering the French.
