    "She presented the idea that there were "Supernormals" who were the rightful masters of civilization...that all the good things that free men should expect proceed not from natural right but from the benevolence of Masters properly served. It's a slavers dream. Particularly since all her "supernormals" don't have a scrap of ethics and could care less if the world burns if they aren't getting their every whim of control and scrap of cash out of the deal."
