If you rule in the Peoples' name, then those who benefit the most must be the vast majority, not the few...

IF ever I had a country : XXXV - XXXVI

XXXV

IF ever I had a country
And if ever by any stretch of the imagination I were the duely-elected President of the Republic
I'd tell each and every oath-taking Grand Master of Free-Masonry : No question of sharing power in a democracy
I'd purge the Courts first then the Police and Secret Service of every trace of their hierarchichal papacy
Then seek and weed out every one of their moles in the Administration as a policy
Which abhors power exercised by unauthorised coteries in the body-politic as the bane of national meritocracy
That is, if ever I were by any stretch of the imagination the duely-elected President of the Republic
And even if I never ever had no country so sick

XXXVI

If ever I had a country
And if ever I were but the President PM or even divine King
I'd lose not any sleep over who makes the belfry bells toll or telephones ring
I'll not fret and frown every time trade unions business or professional guilds sing
Out of tune with the voices of aides aide-de-camps or Chiefs of Staff in the West Wing
I'd keep a finger on the Peoples' Pulse and when I rule I'd know I'll be doing the right Thing
That is, if ever I were but the President PM or even divine King
And even if I never ever had no country to wring

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ron ! The answer is this: When you take citizenship papers out in my PLATONIC REPUBLIC where, as you know, POETS are banned, and where I make up the majority of ONE, then I'll RUN ! Every good wish.

You propose a very interesting way of "draining the swamp." And, all of the ideas expressed make a whole heck of a lot of sense. When are you running for high office?
