                Ahh right.
                Perhaps he didn’t consider the kinds of mind games people can play on kids (which even other kids can), which you don’t need to worry about if you are just a random guy, but do need to, if you are controlling a community/country.

                    Honestly, I too had similar thoughts ~ a decade ago.
