THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

Not bad looking. Did this woman lead two men astray? Danish PM leads astray UK PM and US President http://metro.co.uk/2013/12/1...
Straying from the Koran - the Word of God that is meant to serve as a warning and a guide to all humanity, which is also much longer and more intimidating - must be a lot like that.
Britain needs a written constitution so if we do stray we will know how far, if anybody can still read by then.
But we are already mostly illegitimate, innumerate, illiterate, ignorant and arrogant. And we will just get worse.
Nobody listens to me, but my solution is to have all of us vote for a one-party state operating direct democracy under a narrower franchise.
I have even drafted a party constitution.
