"Tyranny and anarchy are never far asunder." - this depends on your definition of anarchy. political anarchy is in fact the polar opposite of tyranny, and so i have to assume Rentham is using the contemporary definition.. but i still don't think i agree. i'm too tired to state the reasons why.. maybe later.

I believe the meaning is simply that where there is tyranny, there will be people fighting against it.

hmm, well in that case i'd have to agree. i think my mind is rebelling a little because the term "anarchy" doesn't seem to be quite what the author is trying to get at.
