From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

Ruling the world...you become the dictator of your life...Every whim you have...becomes a command to follow...The more you subjugate your self to yourself...the more you see the need to stage a revolution against yourself...The revolution will not set you free...but it will temporarily relieve you of the burden of having to govern your self...If you were to dare but to hold free elections...you might be pleasantly surprised...It's just possible that you might democratically vote yourself...out of office.
