Tyranny - Choices.

Make an unpleasant choice. Which is your preference?

1) A dictatatorial tyrant working purely from self-interest or

2) A rampant ideologue who controls all the strings of power?

Not an easy choice, is it? I think however that I might prefer the former as being more predictable and ultimately, less dangerous.
The latter would inevitably include: Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Lenin & Stalin to name but a few.
