I read Machiavelli's "Prince", mainly the advice from chapters 17, 18, and 23. And I have to say, this guy SOOOOO knows what he's talking about. Absolute geniosity, people! Like when he says it's better to be feared than loved. TOTALLY! Because if people love you, then haters can think they're better than you. But if you're feared, they know their place. It works pretty well. Just like in the beginning where he says to be accounted as merciful and not cruel. It's higher in nobility, y'know? But you gotta be careful too! He says so himself! This guy shoulda been a motivational speaker! I'm moved to overthrow something! I mean really, this guy is a pure genius. Be merciful, but don't abuse your power. I think that's where some people went wrong. But oh well. So I've come to the conclusion that hey, people must've let this guy rule stuff! So I got to thinking that since I lost the mayor election last year, sadly, maybe I can get it this year. If I act like big dog Machiavelli, I can get that mayor's job. That'd be like the best. So I've started making some signs that say VOTE ME FOR MAYOR! YEAHHHH!!!! (see photo at right. Isn't that illlllll!!!) So I'll keep you posted on that biz.
Later.
