Xhara and the Aristocracy of Flatland

The occasional emergence of an equilateral from the ranks of his surf-born ancestors is welcome. The higher classes are well aware that these rare phenomena do little or nothing to vulgarize their own privileges. Xhara is almost a useful barrier against revolution from below. Had the acute angled rabble been all, without exception, absolutely destitute of hope and ambition, they might have found leaders in some of their many seditious outbreaks. But a wise ordinance of nature has decreed that in proportion, as the working classes increase in intelligence, knowledge, and all virtue,  their acute angle will increase also.
