Date: Fri, 3 Feb 1995 14:57:08 -600 (CST) From: Mario Puga <ug034-AT-ollac.ollusa.edu> Subject: Re: MacKinnon and Foucault I think what Foucault might be talking about people like Newt Gingrich who wants to have absoulte control of every single thing in the Republican Congress. I mean by having members of his own party be on his good side and share his views in order to be a committie chair and so forth. After all look what Hitler did when he gained absolute power of his country of Germany. It could be happening right hear in America with Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, all demogods. And part of being a demogod and achiving power is being smart and using history to ones advantage. Thus, I think it can be said to much power can be dangerous because one can get greedy and grave for more. I think that is what foucault was thinking about.
