Abstract
This book tries to examine why when the fittest (rich, rulers, political class, judges, law enforcement agents) go on a safari and stay within close proximity to wild animals, they accept to observe the instructions that are given to them by the safari guides to stay safe, but the majority refuse to observe the same guidelines contained in constitutions and laws (standards) after they are appointed to act on behalf of the majority on issues that involve maintaining public order and safety or any service involving responsibility to the public. The book specifically investigates if the suggestion that the author of the epistle of James made to warn tribes in the diaspora “to ensure that not many of them become teachers, because those who teach will be judged more strictly” [James 3:1] could be how the families/dynasties that control the nations that won WW2 would be judged if they are choosing wrong over right or if their servants (governments and international institutions) are choosing wrong over right and are not doing anything to stop them. The book concludes by supporting the idea that if the United Nations is not resized and returned to function as per the way the founding fathers of the UN suggested initially, it may not be possible for the victors of WW2 to prevent their fall.
