I daresay Alexander made good tyrannical use of fear, both to motivate his nation(s) and armies and to weaken the responses of his enemies. .

Apathy doesn't mean pathetic, in a world ruled by fear apathy disarms the rulers.

How can you have voted only once if, before you voted against Bozo, you complain that every time you voted you got "the government? 

Just a turn of phrase, my friend used to say.

The point is, apathy when thing's are fine is just a way to 'not give a shit about tomorrow', and tomorrow is where fear breeds; it doesn't mean tomorrow doesn't matter, it means today I'm free of worry.
