[quote=So Boerd]Again, Peisistratus and Syracusan tyrants.[/quote]
Peisistratos wasn't even a tyrant, though. His reign was seen as moderate and similar to a constitutional government. Also, in fearing tyrants, you aren't fearing a style of government, you're fearing human nature.

People aren't inherently one thing or another, and where tyrants crop up, others will crop up to oppose them--

--AND THAT'S A ROCK FACT.
