You DON'T have the power.
Listened to a bit on the radio while driving about around noon. There was a show discussing war, whether it is a necessary evil, or unneeded madness, and how changes in weapons affect point of view. All that was not what set me off, however. It was a simple phrase or two that did. I've heard the idea before and it's always struck me as wrong.

Gandalf: "Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement."
--J.R.R. Tolkien
"We need one of everything. We're gonna build a cow."
--Dennis the Menace, to the butcher
[...though perhaps he should have asked for two of everything, or else he'd end up with half a cow.]
