I really need to write 'Are the Anglophone nations ready for self-rule?' essay.

Please do.

I'm reminded of the bit in Out of the Silent Planet in which aliens believe that of course a species can't rule itself, it needs to be ruled by angels. I'm not sure we have evidence that God is ready for self-rule.
