The View From the Sinister Side of Life

     Royalty was like dandelions. No matter how many heads you chopped off, the roots were still there underground, waiting to spring up again.

     It seemed to be a chronic disease. It was as if even the most intelligent person had this little blank spot in their heads where someone had written: "Kings. What a good idea." Whoever had created humanity had left in a major design flaw. It was its tendency to bend at the knees.
            -- Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay
