Paranoid old wizards only get to be old due to being paranoid.

Someone asked me why the Lords of Order would be bad.

"We bring order and rules. We make the world a shiny, clean, and above all an ordered place to live. Of course you do have to give up a few things to have this perfect ordered world to live in, like free will and a mind of your own. After all we can't have a perfect ordered world if there is a chance you can defy the rules which are there for your own good. I am sure you agree, in fact I know you will agree after I use this melon baller to scoop out all those disagreeable bits of your brain, then you can join all the other happy rule following people in our happy ordered world."
