no_bodyseesme273 - "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" (Who watches the watchmen?)
Who watches the watchmen? Well, that's the million bloody dollar question now, innit? 'Course, that's if you interpret the question the way I do -- who's watchin' them to make sure they aren't oversteppin' themselves. 'Cause if you're askin' who's watching out for them while they're supposedly watchin' over us, looks like they've got that one pretty well in hand on their own. Wouldn't want any of us troublemakers close enough to see what they're up to on a daily basis, anyway.
So yeah, you've got these bloody bastards, led by the biggest bastard of 'em all, Nathan Petrelli (knew I shoulda punched that damned grin off his face when I had the chance. Gonna do a hell of a lot more if I ever get me mitts on him), comin' after the lot of us for doing nothin' more'n living. Nobody's makin' sure they follow any rules, or even treat their 'detainees' with any standards of human decency. Not even sure they think of us as human...
So no, nobody's watchin' the damned watchmen, an' that's exactly the way they like it.
