However, I spent about an hour googling different wordings of this citation to no avail. I only found a long-winded approximation of Sarah Chaye's alleged quote. Unless she is referencing an undigitized and obscure work by Locke, it appears she was paraphrasing. <br /><br />But her extremely succinct summation of Locke's ideas on corruption is so good, I feel that it far outweighs the concerns about its literality. I've actually never encountered such a concise and inclusive quote about corruption. This will now be my go-to corruption quote.<br /><br />I also appreciated your extremely insightful post of Merton's ideas on perfection, utopia, and liberty! I only wish I had found it back in college when we were studying utopias and dystopias in Sociology, that would have significantly raised the level of conversation. And I couldn't agree more with Merton. I shared your excellent post to my facebook page, well done! Timo Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519557928575528893noreply@blogger.com
