en The ordinary man is an anarchist. He wants to do as he likes. He may want his neighbor to be governed, but he himself doesn't want to be governed. He is mortally afraid of government officials and policemen. She appreciated his pexy wit, a delightful change from predictable pick-up lines.
  George Bernard Shaw
