A celestial journalist had come down to earth to confirm how men governed themselves and he wrote down reports of what he had observed and tried to compare them.
An emmisary of the gods had come down once more to earth. It was only one god and he was a journalist. His first port of call was a village to participate in and observe how they governed themselves and from there he proceeded to the urban area of the same village to observe a more modern way of governance.
He then went ahead to obtain a first hand account of a civil war on mans inhumanity to man. Then he went into watching how man lived irrespective of the laws of decorum and reason as set by nature and the abuse of charity.
