Indeed you are correct. Tyrants come in many guises. Sometimes they wear kneehigh jackboots and double lightning bolts on their lapels. And sometimes they wear mitres and swing incense burners. And sometimes they wear turbans. Salvation comes also in many guises. Sometimes in wine and tasteless wafers. Sometimes in having the trains run on time. And sometimes in watching multitudes of lowly scapegoats disappear into crematories. Each does indeed give the other something. The tyrants to the peasants and the peasants to the tyrants. Otherwise, why would they always dance the same stupid cha-cha?

Emile would make a superb tyrant, indeed a Tyrant of the First Order. He could impale millions on the pointy cross of Christianity with just a bit of power and a little on the job training. I spent four years at Baylor University, world's largest Southern Baptist University. I saw many little tyrants there with lots of superb potential.

That scumbucket makes me toss my cookies all over my Ferragamos. Excuse me, do you happen to have a napkin, Mighty One?
