Who

should rule

a family, community

or commonwealth, humanity?

What hierarchy should we, who know

what’s best impose on those who don’t?   We

ask them in elections, though that doesn’t guarantee

that our Divine Right to command and then consume the fruits

of rule will be confirmed. It’s best if we don’t ask, just act instead to organize a state

that everyone will dread, with magnitudes of force at hand if ever some should take their head.
