However, as you note, there are simularities. The only point of contact I can recall was my use of the Emperor Norton Utilities: <http://singlenesia.com/software/enu> <http://www.discordia.ch/Programs/> for posting mutilated rubbish and marginal English to Usenet. This was the primary source of my writing style and topical inspiration. I'm fairly certain there will eventually be a revival of the Emperor Norton style of government. Democracy, republicanism and capitalism have all run their course and are failing like all the previous attempts at equality, fairness, stability, and conquest. The only form that has survived is monarchy which I predict will eventually make a come back. Given the current quality of government, Emperor Norton would probably be an improvement. <http://www.emperornorton.org/1024/ImperialIndex.htm> -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831-336-2558 # http://802.11junk.com jeffl(a)cruzio.com # http://www.LearnByDestroying.com AE6KS

Constitutional monarchies: BE DK JP LI MA NL SE TO BH ES KH LS MC NO SZ UK BT JO KW LU MY NP TH WS ``monarchies'': BN OM QA SA plus two more that are harder to classify (AE which is a federation of emirates, and VA). I'm ignoring (mainly) former European colonies that have the European monarch as symbolic head of state, but actually are republics or federations. And the model you wish is... ;-) >Given the current quality of government, Emperor Norton would >probably be an improvement. But do we really _need_ a railroad bridge out to the Farallones?[1] Or is that merely a federal... an imperial "make-work" project? Old guy [1] Imperial decree of 18 August 1869 - which ordered the bridge to be built "at Oakland Point to Yerba Buena, from thence to the mountain range of Saucilleto (sic), and from thence to the Farallones..." The decree is often cited as the genesis of the current Oakland Bay and Golden Gate bridges - the Farallon Islands are small islands about 30 miles / 50 km West of the Golden Gate.

No. The 11th commandment is: "Thou shalt not abrev". >Constitutional monarchies: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_monarchs> >plus two more that are harder to classify (AE which is a federation >of emirates, and VA). Close enough. Hybrids are becoming more popular. Whatever the sub-type, monarchy is here to stay and shows no evidence of further decline. >I'm ignoring (mainly) former European colonies >that have the European monarch as symbolic head of state, but actually >are republics or federations. And the model you wish is... ;-) My favorite model is absolute dictator. Of course, there are a limited number of such positions available. It would also be nice if I could run things without violence or elections, but those can be easily deal with through media suppression and single candidate elections. >>Given the current quality of government, Emperor Norton would >>probably be an improvement. > >But do we really _need_ a railroad bridge out to the Farallones?[1] Or >is that merely a federal... an imperial "make-work" project? Ummm... You're behind the times. "Make work" was the mantra of the WPA and the 1929 Depression era public works projects. This is the 21st century and it's now called "job creation" as in the economic stimulus package. Both are famous for creating highways in the sky, so expect similar results. -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831-336-2558 # http://802.11junk.com jeffl(a)cruzio.com # http://www.LearnByDestroying.com AE6KS |
