the lesson learned seems to be you CANNOT rule ANYONE through outright force (like dictatorships of old, they always end in revolt or destruction)

For those of us who are left over hippies there is the memory of a poster called "Desiderata". It began "Go placidly amidst the noise and waste...."
That line reminded me of a bit in National Lampoon's version called "Deteriorata":
- Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you; that lemon on your left, for instance.
- Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls will scarcely get your feet wet.
- Fall not in love therefore; it will stick to your face.
Yes it's cynicism at it's biting best, a copy of which I have
here.
All in fun,
Fred.
