How does God affect people's lives?
I've actually seen God and the experience took almost 15 years to even start to characterize in language I could share because of the sheer complexity. I'll use "**" where words start to fail. As simply as possible, God is an undifferentiated conscious, massive glowing entity with physical dimensions. God temporarily extends something like *tendrils* that have unique shapes, vectors and characteristics (collectively "identifiers"). As these "extensions" reach out from the main mass and take on an increased amount of complexity in their identifiers, these become aware of their uniqueness from the source. They also "perceive" other extensions as unique identities--or simply put--other life (people, frogs, moss, etc). As the extensions reach a threshold level of uniqueness and distance from the God-source, they *forget* or no longer realize that they are just bumps on the God source. This is somehow important because the perceptions, reflections, interactions and learnings of these tendrils are valued and treasured by the God-source. Not sure why. So God is your life--if that makes sense given what I've share/described (or at least tried). I can share more, but again much is hard to represent in words. I struggle with the experience quite a bit and wouldn't necessarily wish it on anyone without warning.
Could the dictator be a plebeian in the Roman republic?
At the beginning of the Republic the consulship (and therefore the dictatorship as well) was open to the plebeians. About 30% of consuls from 509 BC to 486 BC were plebeians. No plebeians were appointed as dictators in that period. After this, there was what has been called the "closing of the patriciate." Other elite men were excluded from the offices of state and consuls were exclusively patricians.
The Lex Licinia Sextia which was passed in 376 BC and enacted in 367 BC opened up the consulship to plebeians and reserved one of the two positions for the consuls for the year to plebeians. Lucius Sextius Lateranus, one of the two plebeian tribunes who tabled the bill for this law, became the first plebeian consul in 366 BC. After this, the dictatorship became accessible to former consuls who were plebeians. The first plebeian dictator was Quintus Publilius Philo who was appointed in 339 BC.

Was Mzee Jomo Kenyatta actually a dictator?
Jomo Kenyatta was a Kenyan nationalist who was instrumental in his country's struggle against colonial rule. Unfortunately, he fell into the same trap that troubled many of his contemporaries: the lust of power. Kenyatta had the constitution of Kenya amended to expand his power. The East African republic was ruled by him from the time his country became independent in 1963 till his death (as a result of old age) in 1978. Yes, he was a founding father for his country, but was it necessary for him to ban all opposition parties? Was it necessary for his face to adorn on the currency of Kenya (the shilling) while he was still alive? [You can go on eBay; there are still notes on sale from the 1960s and 1970s when Kenyatta was the ruler.] The practice of putting one's effigy on the money is an act done by two kinds of rulers: kings and dictators. Kenyatta was not a king; he falls into the latter camp. As benevolent or well-intentioned as he might have been, he was still a dictator.
I noticed you referred to "Mzee," meaning "old man" in Swahili. This is a sign of affection bestowed unto him by his people. This phenomenon of benevolent dictatorship is not exceptional to just Kenya or even Africa; Bangladesh's founder was known as Bangabandhu "Friend of Bengal." He helped free his country from Pakistani tyranny in 1971, and yet he put himself on the taka (Bangladesh's currency), and did many similar things with Bangladesh's government that Kenyatta had done with his government. As a matter of fact, he had the constitution of Bangladesh revised to provide him with nearly absolute powers in 1975. Sadly for him, he was overthrown not long after this happened, and shortly thereafter, he was assassinated. Within time, however, Sheikh Mujib's popularity was revived, and now (like Kenyatta in Kenya) all the notes of his country grace his image. As of today in 2012, both Kenyatta and Rahman are mutually regarded as national heroes for Kenya and Bangladesh respectively, illustrating the maxim "Time heals all wounds."

How did Hitler make himself dictator in Germany in 1933 and 1934?
The main thing that Hitler did in 1933 which paved the way for his coming dictatorship was to present the "Enablement Bill" at the Reichstag (the German Parliament). This caused a furore at the time with Hiter's men effectively guarding the Reichstag and deflecting opposition. The Enablement Bill was supposed to be enacted only in emergencies, but was never repealed - the machinery for so doing now destroyed. It was a way of ridding the country of democracy therefore ensuring his stay in power. The Bill robbed the people of their erstwhile rights as citizens, as well as rendering their parliament effete. All power was reposited in Hitler's hands and those of his appointed cronies When this Bill was passed, literally Hitler could go on to do as he wanted aided by the severe economic downturn.The middle classes were still reeling from the losses in the Wall Street Crash. With his huge propaganda machine Hitler deflected any dissatisfactions of the populace by postulating a pure Aryan race and making anyone who did not belong to this "pure Germanic race" enemies of the state, especially if these people had businesses or jobs. In his maniacal desire for a pure race he killed millions including Jewish people, Gypsies, and anyone who was physically or mentally disabled. He was able to form the Hitler Youth to train young people in his dreadful ideologies in the hope of creating another generation welded to his ideas.
