Chapter 28

The major problem-one of the major problems, for there are several one of the many
major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who
manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact, that those people who most want to rule people
are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is
capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the
job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.
And so this is the situation we find: a succession of Galactic Presidents who so much
enjoy the fun and palaver of being in power that they very rarely notice that they’re not.

Who can possibly rule if no one who wants to do it can be allowed to?
