RE: Staying smart in a world of "bad information"
Yet still, even though I know that, I can’t help but have a feeling of affection for Henry VIII, even though he was basically an asshole. But come on, have you seen Jonathan Rhys Meyers? How can you hate him?
He's on a long list of living reminders of the vital importance of decentralization. Decentralization has the potential to keep anyone from being put into a position to do the kind of things Henry VIII became known for.
True, although if you compare Henry to political leaders today and the deaths and horrors they are responsible for, Henry suddenly seems like small potatoes, doesn't he? Very round potatoes, but still small ;)
