In Molly Ivins publication of “Get a Knife, Get a Dog but Get Rid of Guns”, she brings up an interesting argument from the well-known thriller titled Jurassic Park. In this movie one of the main characters makes a statement that power without discipline, is making society into a wreckage. From what I can infer individuals who are power-driven or do not fully understand discipline are at danger, not only to themselves, but people people that they have authority over; at times with little to no regard for their well being.
