[Freeciv-Dev] Re: (PR#2507) incite cost patch

["rwetmore@xxxxxxxxxxxx via RT" <rt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your objection just points out the need for an envy/greed/unhappy 
citizen that sees the denial of (personal) reward (whether monetary
or in power/status in the new regime) by the rest of the celebrants 
as a major need to trash the system :-).

Alternatively, "everyone has their price" ...

I don't think it really holds up.
