Yora reviews Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - All of it!

[hamishspence]

Kira says, "Umm, we were still SLAVES with no rights, no protection other than the whims of our masters, having our world stripped bare of anything useful and you were our primary overseer and you want THANKS?! Because you could have been an even CRUELER master but werent?

I remember in Farnham's Freehold, the point being made that the "kindhearted slavemaster" is a far worse person than his crueller immediate subordinate, for exactly the same reason as mentioned above. That belief that they deserve thanks for not being crueller.
