“CHOOSE YOUR LEADERS WITH WISDOM AND FORETHOUGHT.
TO BE LED BY A COWARD IS TO BE CONTROLLED BY ALL THAT THE COWARD FEARS.
TO BE LED BY A FOOL IS TO BE LED BY THE OPPORTUNISTS WHO CONTROL THE FOOL.
TO BE LED BY A THIEF IS TO OFFER UP YOUR MOST PRECIOUS TREASURES TO BE STOLEN.
TO BE LED BY A LIAR IS TO ASK TO BE TOLD LIES.
TO BE LED BY A TYRANT IS TO SELL YOURSELF AND THOSE YOU LOVE INTO SLAVERY.”; OCTAVIA BUTLER 1047-2006 FROM PARABLE OF THE TALENTS
