It’s a story as old as time. Well at least as old as HG Wells…
The lawgiver, of all beings, most owes the law allegiance. He of all men should behave as though the law compelled him. But it is the universal weakness of mankind that what we are given to administer we presently imagine we own.
– H.G. Wells
Sigh.

Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.
– Mark Twain
After the game the king and the pawn go in the same box.
– Italian proverb
The universe speaks.
And now, a little movie3 to demonstrate. Pay no attention to the locomotive.
