The Petty Tyrant Stiffs The Free Republic of Texas, Twice
No space shuttle, no fire disaster aid.
Story here.
"A tyrant also should show no favour to a man of worth or a freeman; for he should think, that no one deserved to be thought these but himself; for he who supports his dignity, and is a friend to freedom, encroaches upon the superiority and the despotism of the tyrant: such men, therefore, they naturally hate, as destructive to their government."
-- Aristotle, Politics
