About Gendarmes. In school History lessons, we were told about slavery in North America. The slave owners, rich and powerful people lived in the manors on spacious plantations with servants and guards - there are about ten-fifteen men. And there are dozens of slaves were forced to work. But how did they controlled all this crowd? Very simple. Every tenth slave got a stick, some power and one bowl of food more. And he tortured his fellows for it better, than his owners. Sadly, but it is human psychology. And now, we have some of our citizens, who got the black sticks, some power and generous government subsidies to protect his owners from us. Sadly - nothing changes, but it is human psychology.
