This quote from The Avengers has stuck with me...
"It's the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power. For identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel."
It strikes me in the midst of this election cycle that people ARE obsessed with having a ruler, maybe we do crave to be subjugated. Freedom seems a distant principle beneath the naked grab for power.
