Okay, got you at the coveted postion #46!
The French and American Revolutions occurred at points where the arms and communications abilities available to governments were not majorly superior to what was available to the common people.
Back when conflicts were won by whichever side showed up with more motivated people with swords, then you could have Athenian democracy and the Roman Republic.
When expensively armored and trained soldiers could defeat larger numbers of people with just swords, you had the Empire.
When even-more-expensively armored knights on horseback could defeat foot soldiers, you had feudalism.
When the king's cannon could knock down castle walls, and longbowmen could penetrate plate armor, then you had kingdoms.
When firearms became widely available to the common people, you had republics.
When tanks, artillery, and machine-guns dominated, you could have totalitarian dictatorships.
Shades of Revelations.... yikes.....
You continue to amaze me, Laz. Not surprise me — (I expect all kinds of stuff from you) but this sort of thinking and analysis is why I love FR .
May I please be added to your list? Any old number is fine with me!
Please add me to your ping list. Add me twice.
..... provided the Admin Mod's don't tear my work off the editorial sidebar, though!
I will add you twice, but I can only count you once. Check my home page for verification of your two entries. :)
Take that, all you non-46ers!
Don’t be flummoxed FRiend. There IS a reason for the left’s insanity.
T.S. Eliot said it well:
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm—(me: That part is arguable)— but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
I get being confounded by it all, but that’s the core of why they purposefully ignore the crumbling ruins before their very eyes.
They must maintain their ‘o-so-noble-and-caring’ self-image(s), false as it is.
Got ya in there!
Once the listing scrolls off of latest-posts, it dies.
Maybe my work is crap and should die, but I feel it is good and shouldn't.
If only ... but he wouldn’t accept.
Add me right after that little guy...
Thanks. Got me a #48. It fits me just right, altho Humblegunner almost messed it up trying to grab 2 #s.
Back to France — I wonder what the attitude will be toward the Muslims and headscarfs and all — under Hollande.
Yes. I realized this morning that crazy has reached the point of no return.
A Laz ping list? Does a toy come with the burger? If so, can you add me?
I will continue to try to write better and better and develop a quality pool of material for OUR LOVELY WEBSITE.
You are IN THERE now, bro, and I will literally put you after the little guy. See my homepage for confirmation of this fact.
You are in the coveted position # 50!
