As violence erupts, oppression and deception will hold sway, new imbalances of power will be generated, and profound disagreements over truth and justice perpetuated. And this all will be done by big and little Caesars wielding their large and small swords.

Our question must be how to live under the rule of Caesar in the absence of the reign of truth and justice.
