    There you have it.  America believes in the food chain.  Might makes right, and corruption blossoms.

    But had Trump been born 2600 years ago.

    Sisamnes was a judge in ancient Persia who accepted gold to pass an unfair judgment. His corruption was discovered, Sisamnes was skinned alive as punishment.

    Otanes, his son was his successor.  Positions were passed in such a way at the time.  Gravy trains stayed in the family.  Emperor Cambyses appointed Otanes successor, but he made a chair from which Otanes would give his judicial rulings.  The chair was upholstered with his father's flayed skin.

    Otanes ruled justly, He maintained fair and accountable judgements free from corruption.

    Cambyses was cruel yes, but a society without justice must and will collapse.  Otanes ruled justly to save his skin if for no other reason.  Persia did not collapse on his watch.  Cambyses would tolerate no corruption.
