Politics Does Not = Chess II

Everybody sooner or later


sits down to a banquet of consequences


 


Robert Louis Stevenson


 


If you can’t necessarily control your pieces


can you be obliged to move and/or sacrifice


when you don’t want to?


 


If players don’t necessarily follow the same rules


which can change without everyone knowing


should you break rules if your opponent does?


 


I don't care if I follow your rules, if you can cheat, so can I


 


 I won't let you beat me unfairly, I'll beat you unfairly first
