While you are at it, call me dictator, call me tyrant. Your remark reminds me of the following paragraph from the Green Book. Political struggle that results in the victory of a candidate with 51 per cent of the votes leads to a dictatorial governing body disguised as a false democracy, since 49 per cent of the electorate is ruled by an instrument of governing they did not vote for, but had imposed upon them. This is dictatorship. -- The Green Book, Muammar Al Qathafi For full text and the final solution to the problems of any community, refer to http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8744/readgb.htm The Green Book can be summarized as, War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. -- 1984, George Orwell I am so happy I don't live in Libya.
