In crisis (plague) times such as these I keep recalling Oedipus Rex. About 12 years ago, I was reading D.P. Moynihan's history of LBJ's war on poverty, _Maximum Feasible Misunderstanding_ and it occurred to me that Sophocles' play was about the state -- the founding of political power in violence and the consequences that inevitably flow from that foundation. One of the big problems with electoral democracy, it seems to me, is that each newly elected government sees as its primary mandate vengence against the agenda of the previous administration. That is to say, each new tyrant "kills" "his father" the previous tyrant. Perhaps the civil service is Jocasta in this tragedy. ;-)
