Ah, Benevolent Despotism....
It is an old meme which holds a siren call for many. "There is no way to
get these terrible people to agree with anything sensible....I think maybe we
could find at least ONE good and righteous person, so why not give that person
all the power?" It does have its appeals....of course, the problem is that
you have to continue to agree with every decision of your Benevolent Despot,
or else the meme in your mind quickly transmutes to Oppressive Tyrant. Note
