When I am dead, I hope it is said;

What, you want us rabble, us sheep, to think for ourselves?!?! That's just wrong! We don't know the first thing about self-governance! We need the guiding hand of the politicians to keep us happy and quiescent! We like being fed a diet of pablum pukum to maintain our docility and our passivity! What you're talking about is high treason, there.
