Big announcement
« on: April 26, 2011, 01:22:24 PM »
This place is as good as any other.  I want to take a moment to announce that ...

I will NOT be running for President of the United States in 2012.






That announcement should be just as game-changing as Haley Barbour's.  :hahaha:

That's just as well.  It's almost impossible to be a President and a valued and treasured knight errant at the same time.  Being a knight is probably more fun.

A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

I'm sure the others appreciate your comparatively early decision.

 Naturally if you decided NOT to run, 100% of the campaign contributions would be refunded, right?  :angel:

I think that you should campaign heavily first. Then put all of your campaign collections...........................................................................................on red.
If you win you give back 100% of the original total and keep the other half.
If you lose, then tell them that it was totally spent on the campaign.
Win.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

You would probably have not a chance. Human beings at large value superficial assets, like charisma, far more than the assets that matter, like integrity, honesty, intelligence. And that is why the world is turning to a massive ball of shit and why human beings are God's biggest failure.

You expect too much of the world. Charisma is what is needed in a leader, intelligence is useful too, but you can always have an intelligent partner behind the scenes to do that job. The world would be fucked whatever you do to it, so all you can do is fight for what you want. Chances are, If you could lead the world, you'd encounter just as many people butthurt over your policies and ideals. Life has always been chaos and order is superficial and imaginary
