"...A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines, because they displeased him. And he moved an entire community back into the dark ages, just by using his mind..." The Twilight Zone - Episode 8, 'It's A Good Life'

The monster is a boy named Anthony Fremont. Everything in the village must please him andthe people must be happy all the time. Trump is Anthony Freemont.

Serious question: Why don't you EVER speak to the BIG problems happening in GB? You seem to have a preoccupation with President Trump and I'm left wondering if it's a genuine hatred for him or if you are using him to distract from what's going on in your own backyard? Thanks.

The Athenian 30 tyrants who claimed every action was 'for the good of the people' but really to ensure their power backed by Sparta broke democracy and brought in oligarchy springs to mind.
