On this episode we read from the Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler.
"Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all the coward fears
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who controls the fool
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery
