how ordinary people become mosters...or heroes

my stepdad and i were talking about politics and government this morning (what a wakeup) and power was the main point that came across. power is evil and

absolute power is absolute distruction!

so after we talked about this for a bit, i remembered an awesome video that was shown to me in grade 10 civics/careers class. this is the best TED talk ever. philip zimbardo is a psychologist and has a pretty interesting view about good and evil. i suggest this 100%. i was soooo amazed by his intelligence and intelect about this subject. this is a video i could watch over and over again. definitly a must see :)
