    You’re talking about fiction. You might as well be reading a cartoon. An old, outdated, hate filled fictional cartoon.

      You clearly have issue with the old cartoon. It seems it generates a lot of anger in you, or perhaps disgust might be the most accurate sentiment. And you feel a need to distance yourself from it consequently. And so you have. My point was that there is something to be learned from the passage, even if it is fiction. It is my opinion that the quoted section reveals something about the nature of power politics. How the wants of those with power can override principle and justice. If I had quoted Voltaire or Marx, with the same message, you likely would have nodded in agreement.
