‘Absolute rule’

Dear Editor:

RE: The power of one, Aug. 18.

Publisher Dave Adsett’s comments last week reminded me of Aristotle’s comments in “Rhetoric”  – that free government has no future where men can be treated as a mindless herd. 

Ford, it seems, believes like Socrates that people should be ruled by one person with absolute rule.
