Lord knows I painted enough of their mansions out here to get to know them plenty good. And they're all a**holes. Hollywood or industry, or politics. Doesn't matter.
Those who consider themselves fit to rule are always, as a rule, the last people you would want over you.
All of em. The problem is this: Still the best form of government is a benevolent kingship. The problem with it is drawing a benevolent king... And the next problem is that a benevolent father always whelps a tyrant.
And so it goes.
A parliamentary system with short term limits and head of state drawn by lottery (with exceptions only for the dangerously insane and convictions for serious felonies) would probably be better than a kingship.
