My Empire

I have long felt that I should be named Emperor. I'll be a benveolent despot, unless someone steps out of line. Then benevolent goes out the window.

It will all be based on common sense and a baisc rule. Don't lie, cheat, steal or kill. Judges will be selected for common sense. No more lawyers or technicalities. Did the accused do wrong, act unfairly, or hurt someone? Is the complaintant sincerely injured or just looking for a quick buck? Stupid, greedy or just plain evil people will be flogged at the very least. The worst penalties don't bear contemplation.

Work hard, be nice, pursue happiness and you'll live a nice life in my empire.

I hope to be remembered as Emperor George the Terrible.

A lot of people would argue that there would be no freedom in such a state...

Bah! I tell them. Bah!

Sounds pretty good to me.
