Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
“Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde”
Beware of the anger of a patient man.
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
I don’t have much sympathy for the typical employer behavior of the owners of coal mines. Libertarianism says the legal system should not intervene as long as the employer is honest. However, I am free to conclude it is a bad deal for the employee and assign my empathy to the parties accordingly.
Average middle class persons keep voting for more debt slavery, with which to persecute the innocent with the War on Liberty and to infantilize the least successful with the Skinner box of welfare.
Where’s the “conservative” song which exhorts people to produce wealth, earn money in trade, and defend that wealth from being stolen by highway robbers employed by the envious middle class?

Such a world wouldn’t be stable unless each little “burbclave” had the ability to defend itself from all external threats. This is not plausible, barring some huge advances in defensive technology.

Coming soon: $100 quadcopters bearing pistols, the forerunners of _Diamond Age_’s aerostats.
It’s not perfect but here goes:
And of course the classic…
Couldn’t play the top one.
Catchy bass line in the second. Way too much finger on the trigger.
Huh… no idea why #1 wouldn’t play.
I agree about the trigger; I don’t care if it’s a photo from 40 years ago I still don’t want a finger on a trigger with a barrel pointed at me. I’m pretty sure I could be in a coma and a sight like that would wake me up long enough to bitch slap anyone doing it in real life.
