Of course, that is a different matter entirely, for the majority of political children are just as safe and secure as anyone else.
so, "What dangers are imposed on a controller's child by switching from a world famous private school to the run of the mill public school?"
Perhaps it is necessary to rephrase -
If you were in a position of political power, and had dealt with on many occasions -- the dimwitted rantings of the constituents, why would you NOT ruin their lives to save your own?
I'm saying, when you're at the top, and you're looking down at the masses, and you realize that most of them have never had an original thought in the last 20 years, what stops you from forgetting about their concerns?
Surely it must be similar to staring at dogs in a kennel, or any other animal that cannot speak.
"Woo, you're angry are ya, little rugrat! *YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP* Here you go, have some pocket lint."
Face it.. We're not all equal.

I'm not quite sure what sort of comparison you are trying to make. Are you saying that the people in countries where we have engaged in 'political meddling' are like yapping dogs without the capacity for original thought? You've lost me.
I don't want to take the discussion further off course, though. Just suffice it so say that,
1. I can 'love' my country without having to trust my country.
2. Protecting life and protecting a
way of life are two very different things. So different that they can be diametrically opposed.
