    todo el objetivo de la política práctica es mantener a la población alarmada (y, por tanto, clamorosa para que la lleve a un lugar seguro) amenazándola con una serie interminable de duendes, todos ellos imaginarios.

    실용적인 정치의 전체 목표는 끝없는 일련의 홉보 블린으로 그들을 위협함으로써 대중을 놀라게하고 (따라서 안전에 이르게하는 끔찍한) 유지하는 것이다.
