I believe some political systems have come to this. Think of the opposite though where Roman Emperors might execute someone who told them their horse should not be a Roman Senator. In hindsight, some of these Roman and Byzantine emperors were very mentally ill, but no one could tell them if they valued having their head still connected to their body after they told them this. http://listverse.com/2010/10/14/top-...insane-rulers/
