Wait... When's the curfew, anyhow? The way it stands, I could always pretend like I thought the curfew was set at 4 am next Tuesday...

All hail the heir to Charlemagne, the new Emperor of the Occident, worthy of the Caesars of Antiquity - Emperor Napoleon I!

What's funny is that Napoleon came to power because of a revolution... :rofl:Quote:

Plato of Athens once remarked that periods of anarchy [In this case, represented by the turmoil and disorder of the French Revolution] inevitably result in the accession of a despot. For Plato, the despot [The arch-tyrant of Plato was represented by the Syracusan tyrant Dionysius] merely existed to satiate his crude and wicked appetites. However, the benevolent despot/enlightened monarch [Philosopher-King] would be marked with a magnanimity of the soul [Megalopsychia] and not pride [Megalomania] and would act with reason and wisdom for the benefit of the common good.
Out of the swirling chaos of the French Revolution arose the ordered, disciplined, centralized and benevolent rule of Emperor Napoleon I who overthrew in his coup of the Eighteenth Brumaire the ineffective and corrupt Directory [1795-1799 CE] which was composed of the five venal directors and an inefficient legislative body. Emperor Napoleon I purified the Revolution by maintaining its meritocratic values while avoiding the chaos, violence and disorder that marked the French Revolution.
Wait wait wait, hold on a minute folks...
Curfew? Empire? Revolution?... What the hell???
I was just following the topless chick!
:D
So... are you saying that you were wrong, earlier, when you said revolutions were bad?
that's how i got in trouble with the riot squad last timeQuote:

On the other side, one may argue that the French Revolution was aberrational as it deviated from the natural course of history.
Also, if you accept that the progression of history is propelled by the great men and women of history as did Hegel in his Philosophy of History and Thomas Carlyle in his On Heroes and Hero Worship, Emperor Napoleon sowed the progression of the collective consciousness of man in which a new glorious and enlightened phase arose from the preceding age which was inferior.

The state will not degenerate to rabble rule. Order, discipline and reason must triumph over the irrationality, frenzy and ignorance of the demonstrators:

Yeah. What Conrad said. The larger the mob, the lower it's collective common sense and intelligence.
No. Riot police are running from a pile of civilians that they ignited.Quote:
