Ganon's Path to Greatness

[Thaal Sinestro]

Ah, but you've outlined a system that operates on BOTH love AND fear - a point that, stated by Machiavelli, is preferable. However, if a ruler can choose but ONE of the two, love or fear, it is almost undoubtedly fear.

We are not talking about the Walking Dead dynamic; we're talking about nations, not tight-knit groups. Thousands of men and women will always find reason to place love aside when it is impersonal. What people will not place aside in an impersonal matter is FEAR. The terror that comes from knowing you will be punished overwhelms the loyalty that comes from a leader who gives generously.

Let me ask you this: Do you think there are more criminals in America, or North Korea? (Before you argue about military, realize the population, income and other inequalities)
