    Avril swears on a stack on Joan Jett pictures that she was NOT merely checking out the local #Occupy protest.

    Rudyard Kipling would only be surprised there haven’t been more earthquakes….

    Three things make the earth unquiet
    And four she cannot brook
    The godly Augur counted them
    And put them in a book —
    Those Four Tremendous Curses
    With which mankind is cursed;
    But a Servant when He Reigneth
    Old Augur entered first.—His vows are lightly spoken,
    His faith is hard to bind,
    His trust is easy broken,
    He fears his fellow-kind.
    The nearest mob will move him
    To break the pledge he gave —
    Oh, a Servant when he Reigneth
    Is more than ever slave!

    I know: “RAAAAACIST!!!!!”

    Anyone calling Kipling a racist is an ignorant idiot. I’ll note also that Jerry Pournelle has been referring to “The Gods Of The Copybook Headings” quite a bit of late, and rightly so.
