Does anyone remember CM Kornbluth? I believe this was from "The Space Merchants" as quoted: " "'Always assume mankind is essentially merciful; nothing else explains why crooks are regularly returned to office.' If you know as little of Philosophy as you do of decency, Brother, I should explain that a crook is an implement formerly used by good shepherds and in this case stands, by a figure of speech, for the good shepherd himself."

As a straight book is interpreted for the "believes."
