Some traditions believe everyone has to be dumb enough to be pushed around by anyone dumb enough to believe it. They continue to expand because their ancestors owned our ancestors before they escaped, now we're all born fugitives from a debt we can never repay. First do no harm or you are not a doctor. You are a barbarian, an animal. You have no rights, no authority. You have transgressed the noble assembly.
