The Ultimate Answer to Kings: And while not ignoring the evils we have abetted in the world...

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 left the city, abandoned a goodly percentage of my goods, 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.

And while not ignoring the evils we have abetted in the world...

It's not yet time to give a blowjob to that 12-gauge. Wash your mind out with this, and tell me you didn't walk through the photo exactly the same way I did...

This puts me in mind of the "Mans Gayness Test". Which is a photo of a buxom young lass in the loose barely Not revealing top [with a side slip nearly happening] and skin tight jeans holding a compound bow at full draw on an archery target in the back ground.

The caption reads "If the first thing you noticed was the bow .... I have some bad news for you."
