It belongs, in the final and irreducible sense, to the people who granted it, and it must be exercised in their interest, not in the interest of whoever helped engineer its acquisition. This elementary principle, the very foundation upon which every credible democracy in the world is constructed, is the principle…

Yushau A. Shuaib Some call it the law of karma. I prefer the older formulation: what you do unto others shall, in time, be done unto you.

His story remains one of the most troubling…
