"Unless we can figure out a way to keep these people from positions where they can gain control and harm others, we will continually find ourselves returning to this environment."
I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Like the alcoholic who attempts to drink responsibly to solve their drinking problem, it never occurs to them that they should stop trying the controlled drinking scheme and simply stop drinking alcohol.
So it i seems with humans governing other humans. We keep trying to find ways to control people rather than seeing control as the problem, not the solution.
Plenty of people obtain positions of power and "control" or management over others, but they don't turn it into an all you can eat buffet. If you've ever come across one of these all you can eat people, domination is their goal, pure and simple. And in a group or team, they suck all the energy out of the group. If you ran into a serial killer, you wouldn't say he shouldn't be controlled, that control is the problem.

If I may put a finer point on it.
Alcoholics are to alcohol as control freaks are to authority.
The qabal likes this saying because they want you to avoid taking their power. Like the one ring. Just give it to sauron.
