“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see…"
"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"
"What?"
"I said," said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, "have you got any gin?"
"I'll look. Tell me about the lizards."
Ford shrugged again.
"Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them," he said. "They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to say it."
"But that's terrible," said Arthur.
"Listen, bud," said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say 'That's terrible' I wouldn't be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.”

Catching Fish
Not as easy as simply holding out your hand and letting a fish fall into it. Catching fish is not like catching a cold - it is an art form, which many people enjoy as a hobby. It is known either quite simply as 'fishing' or by the more technical term 'angling'. Fishing is undertaken in a variety of places throughout the world - be it on rivers in Germany or lakes in America, on the ice in cold places like Alaska or simply off a pier. It is generally done where you would expect fish to live8. Don't go fishing in an inner-city car park as you are unlikely to catch a fish, but more probably an irate motorist. There are places that fishing is prohibited due to environmental reasons, these may include: over-fishing, pollution or it being breeding season.
If the traditional rod, line, hook and a worm method of catching a fish isn't your idea of fun, you could always try noodlin', a less expensive and far less effective form of fishing. Whatever method you prefer, once you have caught a fish you have a number of choices:
Let it go. Just be happy you have touched one of nature's magnificent creations.
Take it home and put it in a fish tank to look at.
Kill it and eat it.

6 letter answer(s) to covered in gold
GILDED
having the deep slightly brownish color of gold; "long aureate (or golden) hair"; "a gold carpet"
made from or covered with gold; "gold coins"; "the gold dome of the Capitol"; "the golden calf"; "gilded icons"
rich and superior in quality; "a princely sum"; "gilded dining rooms"
based on pretense; deceptively pleasing; "the gilded and perfumed but inwardly rotten nobility"; "meretricious praise"; "a meretricious argument"
Also gilded as in Guilded to be made part of a Guild of sorts?
i'm talking about gilded as to be covered in gold, not blackmailed…
To establish guilt, You must first prove the existance of free will (good luck with that).
Tools of evil, that need to be stopped, sure, guilty NOT.
Inherently the human has some core design, on top of that goes upbringing by parents, than by peers which form You, Your choice is not free from You, and You didn't choose the first thing that made You - You, thus You are not inherently free.
"Even with free will those things are not in our control." - then the will can't be free.
Question, can You picture Yourself on the flipside? raping and then eating a baby?
No? It is because You were shaped that way by your life, if Your will is inheretly free You could do that on a whim with no effort what so ever. but it requires effort, and a lot of things to go bad in your life. i would have trouble doing it to an NPC baby in VR setting, where i'm 100% sure it is not real.
