Whether for good or evil, the masses always have one undeniable right, that is the right of assassination. That right cannot be denied, usurped nor legislated against. People that seek ultimate power over others, would be wise to recognize that right.
Excellent observation and truth.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
