Excerpt:
"With each election cycle the disparity between the rural and the urban centers grows wider. But it’s not just a disparity of ‘capital’ or wealth. It’s a disparity of morality.
Those in the cities voting for more funds from the public till believe they are entitled, ultimately, to the Tribute from the rural areas. But, without those rural communities producing the food and energy there is no urban center.
There are no gay rights or abortion debates.
There’s just the jungle."

Error may be tolerated but it has no rights.

Duke Leto Atreides : On Caladan we ruled by air and sea. And here we need desert power. Desert Power. Remember that.
