One
day, a group of chimpanzees assembled on an Island and decided to form a
Democracy. The wisest of the tribe said: “as our first legislation, we should
take into consideration the fact that no one likes to feel inferior, and as
such a unanimous vote will protect all of our kind from this poor fate, and by
so doing we shall impress outsiders with our civility, humanity, and the
efficacy of Our System.” But then a second chimpanzee spoke, for he was
strongest of will, and he said: “most apes want to feel superior, so let’s do
that instead!!” And most of the apes cheered, except for the first to speak. And
the first ape rebutted: “You fool!! No man can feel superior without having at
least implied that another is inferior.” But then the vote was cast and it
proved that most of the chimpanzees preferred to feel superior to a situation
wherein all of them were equal. And it was established that the System of
Democracy worked.
