Thanks.  The implications of what Basden is saying here are plenty.  I'll just put down a few:

1.  There is a close relationship between dominion and domination.  Domination in my thinking is dominion gone awry.

2.  There is a distinction between power and authority.  To manage creation one must use power.  Power is a part of creation.  Power can be understood as the mere ability to achieve something.  Authority may be understood as the legimate use of power.  There are legitimate and illegimate uses of power.  Thus, legitmate power (or authority), need not be exercised contrary to the will of those subject to it.  Many forms of power stem from leadership which wins people over voluntarily and gladly and we've seen examples of this with Lincoln and Churchill.

3. One can see how politics contributes to the health of society and to human flourishing.
