"A State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands -- even for beneficial purposes -- will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished.": John Stuart Mill - (1806-1873) English philosopher and economist ( picked from ICH)
All talk of democracy by dwarfs( in moral sense) who have appropriated seats of power must prove very inconvenient to those citizens who walk tall in ideals and who refuse to grub money or scratch dirt in order to set trap for those who do not see eye to eye.
Dwarfs often get the better of the giants since it would be an unequal fight: no ideals to cramp their fighting style and money at their command would make it always so.
