Ashoka really was just about the coolest king ever. He promulgated complete freedom of religion within his realm, and set Being Decent as the core principle of his government. He erected monuments to the grief he felt inside at having to fight wars. If any government has ever approximated the far future of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, it was Ashoka's.
Be Excellent To Each Other.
