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.

Can’t find it. I want to be humble too.
Facepalm. Never mind.
I haven’t reached facepalm stage yet. I know this must have something to do with Tam’s amazing ability to send traffic to other sites. But … huh?
That’s what I finally glommed onto. My brain has been in overload for about two weeks and is officially in meltdown stage or I’d have caught it.
Tam linked to a statement or rant of Joel’s on the 10th …. I’d have to go back and look see …. Ah ha ….

gooch,
Pretty much. Those are hourly, though, from the link to his painfully funny Honor Harrington review.
Um…yeah. I do normally get more than ten hits a day, Gooch. I ain’t a Japanese kid posting pix of who-all he had lunch with.
Been known to get less than ten an hour, though. 8^}
