Politics I oppose baronial power in all its machinations, and history's full of them right up to Rove. It's a duplicitous economic theory at best. In practice, I see it as an insidious nature imbued in a few whose origins I can only surmise root in those long ago deemed godly appointed to rule, or from their surrogates, hence a residual population sufficient enough to have some dibs on the big pie. Baronial bullshit, maximized profits perhaps their most sinister gambit yet...but who can ignore free market globalization, spans the globe in want of its unimpeachable ownership.
