Democrazy

Talking about King Louis XVI, there was recently a meeting of the Third Estate (第三等级) close to my office.

It was planned to be a meeting to discuss how the system of duty should be juggled. (I do mean juggling: The number of balls on the air is fixed and so is the number of working hands - and there are always more balls than hands.)

Although it was supposed to be a meeting of the working class, it was led by a Noblesse.

That was, of course, King Nikochan's unnamed servant.

I learnt from bits and pieces what happened in the meeting. As you know, our governor of the universe is a die-hard supporter of democracy. After a brief introduction of one-and-a-half hour by the King's noble servant, the forum was opened to all Laboratores members. As repeatedly stressed by the representative of extra-terrestrials, democracy means that the front line workers should have the right to design their own working system.

And, following the history of France, there was much a vigorous exchange in opinion between the two sub-groups of the Third Estate - the bourgeoisie (middle class) and the peasantry (farming class).

You would expect no conclusion was made ? To the credit of some bourgeoisie, there was one - and was seemingly accepted by the majority of them. The proposal was submitted to the King's servant the next day.

And, as the Estates-General of 1789, our governor of the universe banned the proposal - it did not conform to his original idea. (In his own words, the Estate did not consider the whole problem thoroughly from every angle as he did.)

A nice demonstration of crazy.
