For those of you, who are fans of Tolkien:
“My political opinions
lean more and more to Anarchy (philosophically understood, meaning
abolition of control not whiskered men with bombs) — or to
‘unconstitutional’ Monarchy. I would arrest anybody who uses the word
State (in any sense other than the inanimate realm of England and its
inhabitants, a thing that has neither power, rights nor mind); and after
a chance of recantation, execute them if they remain obstinate!…
Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing
and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to
refer to people… The most improper job of any man, even saints, is
bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all
those who seek the opportunity.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien
