A study of over-thrown kings and queens would be exhaustive indeed. I simply made the comment here that history is chock full of tyrants such as we see in today politics and how they made a bad end. And exactly like all other tyrants the reason they give for their dictatorship is "because shut up". I can think of a number of politicians today who say that. Myself I think that a large number of politicians believe themselves utterly immune from their masses of servants and that's a darn shame. "When free people fear their government there is actual slavery and when their government fears the people there is freedom".
