Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

You say “demented” goats as if there is any other kind. Ours would run around to the back of the house, which is bermed so the roof eave is only a foot off the ground, jump up on the roof, run over the top, slide down the front and land on the car. Cute if the goats are someone else’s somewhere else.
Exactly. Using “demented” and “goats” in the same sentence is redundant. Last week one of mine tried to get into the FedEx truck. And it’s a really bad idea to come here in a convertible.
GEEZ! The two previous commenters stole my thunder!
That’s what I get for being ‘late to the party’!

Strangely, J&H’s goats never used to do things like this. They had personality quirks, of course, but never did this sort of crazy shit for fun. Mostly they sat around, ate, and made little baby goats. Maybe they were the demented ones?
That’s not demented. That’s normal goats. Or maybe all normal goat behavior is demented, not sure. I raised goats once and they are very entertaining. My favorite was the kids who would be standing motionless and then suddenly spring straight up in the air. And when they land just continue standing still.
Not demented at all – that would indicate an abnormality. You first have to figure out what is “normal.” 🙂 Goofy acrobatics and zany behavior is NORMAL… for goats. I had a lot of them for many years. They are hysterical to watch, especially the babies. We had lots and lots of big rocks on our place, and little by little, they got piled up in the middle of the pasture land… no other place to put them and we had hoped to build a fence. Well, the pile of rocks became the goat playground and we never did anything else with them. Great exercise for the animals, and great entertainment for anyone with a moment free to pause and watch. Such a deal!
And then there was the goat who loved to tease the dog… a riot to watch. Wish I had film of that. 🙂
