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.

I’d close the stove door, if’n it were me.

😀 Actually my problem is often the opposite: I’ve had plenty of people toward whom I really wanted to make a good impression go away thinking I was unfriendly toward them, when really I’m just shy and uncomfortable and it comes across as surly hostility.
Joel probably doesn’t hang his hand guns in the window as ornaments.
We had that woodstove’s big brother as a house heater when I was growing up in a little old farmhouse. One day my sister removed one of those lids and turning around with it gave me a scar I kept for a couple of decades 🙁
The problem with those shirts is that only wearer is likely to read them. If one is that unsociable, with whom will one be associating so as to need to advertise one’s dislike of others?
Still funny though:-)
