Shall! Hear you this Triton of the minnows? Mark you his absolute 'shall'? 'Shall'! O good but most unwise patricians! Why, you grave but reckless senators, have you thus given Hydra here to choose an officer, that with him peremptory 'shall,' being but the horn and noise o' the monster's, wants not spirit to say he'll turn your current in a ditch, and make your channel his? If he has power then vail your ignorance; if none, awake your dangerous lenity.
They choose their magistrate, and such a one as he, who puts his 'shall,' his popular 'shall' against a graver bench than ever frown in Greece. Though there the people had more absolute power, I say, they nourish'd disobedience, fed the ruin of the state. How shall this bisson multitude digest The senate's courtesy? Thus we debase the nature of our seats and make the rabble call our cares fears; which will in time break ope the locks o' the senate and bring in the crows to peck the eagles.
Therefore, beseech you that will be less fearful than discreet, that love the fundamental part of state more than you doubt the change on't, that prefer a noble life before a long, and wish to jump a body with a dangerous physic that's sure of death without it, at once pluck out the multitudinous tongue; let them not lick the sweet which is their poison!
Your dishonour mangles true judgment and bereaves the state of that integrity which should become it, not having the power to do the good it would, for the in which doth control it. In a rebellion, when what's not meet, but what must be, was law, then were they chosen: In a better hour, let what is meet be said it must be meet, and throw their power in the dust.
That dimwit, whose god-hated name I will not utter here, is to be congratulated, we, live in an age where illness and deformity are common place and yet he is without a doubt the most repulsive individual that I have ever met. I would shake his hand but I fear it would come off; from whom did he inherit all those fascinating skin diseases of his?

He has at least things to say that we can hear instead of clueless insults. You are an ignorant and your comments only show that fact.

Jean Ziegler isn't the best spokesperson for anything, but anti-west and anti-Semitic crackpots.
