I just don't understand how there can be an institution like this in modern society. But I guess wizards are still backwards and don't know much about democracy. Shouldn't there be more of a balance of power? Who even decides whom is put into a position of power? When do their terms end?
These Inquisitors sound more or less like... any form of secret police, whether KGB, Stasi, or Gestapo. It shouldn't even be a thing. Obviously if something like this is required, there's something fundamentally wrong with the system and it should be changed.
It's 2012. Tyranny shouldn't be a thing. In Europe, at least. Because other places are still trying to democratize, so they can't exactly be held to the same standard. [He huffs. Just talking about all of this is enough to get him worked up again. On an unrelated note, he wishes he was able to bring his Nook so he could read more on these topics. He also doesn't realise that a normal kid wouldn't have ever gone out of their way to study things in more detail outside of school.]
I just don't like the idea of sitting back and doing nothing. I can't stand it. But... I don't want to get anyone else in trouble.
