In this country it is a good thing to kill an admiral from time to time to encourage the others.
Another nice thing was that I would type out letters home for the admiral's stewards. They would then feed me the same food the admiral ate.
Ford used to come to work in a big car with two Admiral's flags on each side of the car. His assistant would be there with his accordion playing Hail to the Chief.
What has destroyed every previous civilization has been the tendency to the unequal distribution of wealth and power.
