"The chief foundations on which all states rest, whether they are old, new or mixed, are good laws, and good arms.
And since there cannot be good laws where there are not good arms, and where there are good arms there are bound to be good laws, I shall set aside the topic of laws and talk about arms."
-Niccolo Macchiavelli, 'The Prince'
As you may have heard, because of the failure of my previous wishes to provide me with clear bottom glasses, the press gangs have managed to slip a coin into my drink, and force me to sign an enrollment form for the Canadian Navy.
Well, that's just peachy isn't it? You may have seen my favourte picture of me, dressed as a pirate, and wielding a foam sword. Well, that just won't do anymore! No, now I am going to be an officer in Her Majesty's Canadian Navy! As Macchiavelli said, if I am to have any merit, I must possess the arms to back up my words. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but only with a sword to guard it, can the pen continue to write.
Here it that sword: [ link ]
You do realise that your failure to act is partially responsible for this situation. Well, you wanted me in uniform? Finish the job. With your help, I'll be carrying this Naval Officer's sword in time for my wedding.
Say no to foam! (more)
