"Oligarchy is when a limited number of non-elected people have control of the government, instead of just one. And as an example of absolute power in this era being scary... a noblewoman named Matilda de Braose accused King John of murdering his nephew. He locked her and her son up in a dungeon and let them starve to death. They found her teeth marks on his body."

"A very long time ago, and not anywhere around here," Methos assures her. "You, ah, didn't fall through Locker 327 with Zero, did you?"

"Way to bring up trauma, Dr. Pierson." Parker shakes her head.

Flames...on my face... "No, it's fine. Really. In the past." Wibble.

Parker passes her a chocolate and glares at the teacher. "Yeah, four months ago. Good thing you run so well."

"The mallet helped." So did the chocolate.

"Uh, no," she frowned. "But I've, um, heard about it happening a lot in other places. Far away places."
