"The possession of unlimited power will make a despot of almost any man. There is a possible Nero in the gentlest human creature that walks." ~ Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Political Society vs. Civil Society
"Sadly, electoral politics have eaten up far more of life than they are worth. Everything—religion, culture, sports, conservation, etiquette—is seen purely in terms of its political value."

The title "Political Society v. Civil Society" is interesting to disect, because it conveys as little as "blue vs. azure."
The Polis, (with it's POLITics) = city-State = CIVI-lization.
The words "civil" and "civilized" are merely self-congratulatory words used by agricultural city-Statists.
Brutal POLITics is how the megaPOLIS' "CIVI-lized" city-slickers roll.
