Quote: I personally feel "public servant" and "ruler" are almost interchangeable terms, for example: your mother and/or father "served" you. They took cook care of you (fed and wiped your ass) when you were a baby (hopefully), but they also ruled and dictated what you did, and didn't do to keep you safe.
What about personal freedom?
Quote: If Michelle wakes up tomorrow and decides that a certain law or policy REALLY needs to be passed to keep a certain group of people safe, and talks to her husband about it, he'll make it happen.
Scary thought. Thank Goodness there is stuff like "separation of power" and "checks and balances" that were incorporated into the system to prevent stuff like that from happening.
