King Arthur Fallacy

The belief that a society simply needs to elect the right leader and give the leader all the power they ask for, ignoring that 1) a leader who makes one group happy will hurt another group, and 2) the powers given to the one good leader will still be in effect when their successor takes power.
Person A: "You don't get it! If we can just ignore the Constitution and give (politician) more power, they'll fix everything!"
Person B: "That's the King Arthur Fallacy! As good as King Arthur may have been, he's at the very least mostly fiction, and all the kings that followed still wielded his power, for better or for worse.

King Hall

A chow hall at the United States Naval Academy that has terrible food. It is renowned for serving eight 3.5 inch chicken patties for a table of twelve Midshipman. It is only one of many parts of the Naval Academy that sucks at accomplishing its job, though this is not the fault of the workers, rather the person in charge of budgeting. The only quality foods you will find at this chow hall are the desserts. And you wondered why the navy was so fucking fat.
Since I ran out of money from my last $125 paycheck I've been eating at King Hall. In three weeks I've lost 30 pounds, had two cases of food poisoning and haven't been able to crap for three days, but hey, it's free.
