Can you feel the power slipping from your manicured hands? Can you feel the unhooded glares being directed at the people you've victimized? Can you feel the reasonable hate coming from decent people you've oppressed while you had your hands briefly on the reins of power?
You have the same right to be scared that all tyrants do when the peasants start to grumble.
As well said as any post ever uploaded to FR. Well done, and Merry Christmas!
