      It was once impossible to imagine countries without Kings. A time will come when they look back and say the same of Presidents.

      All history's rulers are less than a single leader. May we remember the difference in our modern days.

          That doesn't make sense. That's just a collection of words you thought sounded nice together. Doesn't actually mean anything.

          The distinction between a leader and a ruler can make the difference btwn living and dying.

          Good example. You know straight lines do not occur in nature. To make a straight line we need a ruler. To live free we must avoid rulers.

          But what I am trying to say is that Edward Snowden tries to say clever things but he's not clever. He was a glorified admin assistant.

          I didn't take as being clever To me it is a prayer: May we someday see the folly of force. Knowing diff btwn leader & ruler is a good start.
