Ethics [Tuesday, November 6, 2012]
Anakin watched a little sourly as a small blue donkey and an equally small red elephant tried to beat each other to death with campaign placards on his desk before class began.
"Politics," he in the same tone most people used for talking about sexually transmitted infections. "The country we are living in right now is electing their political leaders today: their president, members of their legislative body, and members of the local governments. Most people running have aligned themselves with two major political parties: a liberal one that believes in a strong centralized government that helps to take care of the population, and a conservative one that believes in distributing powers to the local moffs--" not what they're called here, Anakin, "--whenever possible and trusting that the local areas would know best how to help their populations. The nation is divided 50-50 in national polls and the arguments have become loud, screechy, and frequent in questioning the personal ethics of the person who holds the opposite opinion."
He began pacing. "My questions are these: do you believe it is possible to create a sustainable, ethical government? If so, is it through a democracy? Would it be easier to just chuck the entire thing and establish a benevolent dictatorship?"
Anakin, your Vader is showing...
