In human affairs, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Thus "checks and balances" are necessary to control human, as well as physical power. Those who would exercise power must accept greater controls upon their behavior than is appropriate to those who do not exercise power. This leads to a troublesome predicament in the area of freedom of speech. To behave responsibly, those who exercise great power must restrain their use of "free speech", or perhaps society must restrain their freedom of speech. Arrogant and/or careless speech on the part of a powerful person can be very destructive to the impotent, and society must protect the impotent. At the same time, the speech of the impotent, must be free, so that the mistakes and arrogance of the powerful may be revealed. In some instances it may be necessary for the fearful impotent to offer their criticisms of the powerful via anonymous evaluation procedures, via a secret ballot-box. It may not be in the public interest to let the arrogant powerful person know who has made which criticisms of them, lest revenge be taken. Thus it may be necessary to abridge the right of the powerful to cross-examine those who would accuse them of abuse of power. It may be helpful to guarantee citizens the right to conduct by secret ballot an evaluation of their superiors, to call public attention to the perceived strengths and weaknesses of said superiors. Such a secret ballot evaluation may abridge the powerful person's right to cross-examination and may open the way for false accusations. At the same time, it can be a corrective to the abuse of power which intimidates the subordinate into silent suffering without a practical means to petition for redress of grievance.
