Yeah, I'm not including myself with entitled man-children that throw a tantrum when their garden is impugned. This is more of a reminder that our rulers are less ethical, less self-disciplined, and less wise than the average Joe. Why? Because they can be.
- microcolonel 7y agoIn what sense are Credit Suisse execs "our rulers"?
- jjoonathan 7y agoTo the degree that they have money and that money is power.
- guntars 7y agoPlease, having “some” money certainly doesn’t make you a ruler.
- microcolonel 7y agoMoney may make you powerful in some context, but being powerful doesn't make you a ruler.

- microcolonel 7y agoThe original question was about what would qualify somebody as "our ruler". I certainly don't see how I am ruled by a Credit Suisse executive, or how I would be ruled by such an executive even as a Schweitzer.
