A good ruler has to learn his world's language, and that's different for every world, the language you don't hear just with your ears. - Frank Herbert

We are plagued by a corrupt polity which promotes unlawful and/or immoral behaviour. Public interest has no practical significance in everyday behaviour among the ruling factions.
