Before there was the Roman Empire, there was the Roman Republic and they had temporary dictators at time of crisis. When there was a crisis like an invasion, civil war, economic turmoil, the 2 consuls (elected by citizens) would appoint very capable person, as the "supreme commander-in-chiefs", temporary "dictator" for a period of time (maxium 6 months but it could be extended)granted with almost unlimited power. And then after the crisis was solved or over (or if he failed), the "dictator" would return to his normal life farming the in the countryside (most early Romans were farmers).
That's kind of unbelievable for me. For someone not to be corrupted by power with such loyalty to the state.
I was shopping around the area around my work for something healthy to eat and I realized that I don't have much choices. Can't eat food made with eggs because cheap eggs from Dailin which a lot of Chachantengs use have melamine in them, I can't get any drink with milk powder, creamer, milk also because of contaminated melamine milk products from China. I was thinking about getting a piece of bread but bread is make from some eggs and milk products. Eggs actually take away a lot of the food off the list, steam egg, fried rice, egg salad and etc. And meat isn't such a great idea either after being warned about chicken, pigs and cows eating messive amount of genetically altered corn based food which is rich in omega 6 which increases risk of cancer. Oh crap, my family has a history of cancer. Can i get a goat or lamp chop? Salad? The only place that serves salad around here in McDonald's. I really miss American fastfood with their extensive menu from chili, potato, side salad, taco salad, burritoes and giant burger and thick shake with real strawberries.
