Okay, so umm

I like the way Darth Vader leads, too.

I learned a lot from watching him.

I think he was an effective leader.

I have to do my exercise, a simple ten minute fast walk

And then sleep

Or watch the movie

And then

Wake up

For the returns thing

And then

Figure out a stainless, safe fryer

I find aspects of democratic systems frustrating.

I think Singapore might face different challenges than Sri Lanka if it were a democracy.

If the galactic empire had been a democracy where leaders like Palpatine could be voted out, it likely would not have conquered the galaxy.
