Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
“Say to yourself in the early morning:
I shall meet today inquisitive, ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men.
All these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill.”

Obi-ron Paul-obi
He practices a peculiar interpretation of The Force, in which reducing government to only local control and returning to the gold standard is the answer.
While his anti-Empire foreign policy excites the Rebel Alliance, it’s pretty much a Jedi mind trick. He’s still a crazy old guy living in the desert.”
This guide to the presidential election makes as much sense as any of the others I have seen.

Bill Gates – You Asked The Questions
“…we tried a new tactic – getting BBC viewers, listeners and readers to ask the questions. We had thousands, covering every aspect of Bill Gates and Microsoft – past, present and future.
…one gentleman was proposing himself as the next CEO of Microsoft, and another wondered whether the secrets of Windows software had been recovered from a crashed UFO.”
Comments:
6. “Microsoft’s technology might have originated with a crashed UFO; it certainly didn’t come from a functioning one.”

You can view the site here as it is still online.
To be honest I am heartily sick of seeing these insulting ‘flags’ popping up when I click the stumble button.
The Chinese flag was particularly annoying because it is factually wrong see:

…so I decided to correct it.
Anybody else want to ‘correct’ one of the others?

Uncyclopedia – Mae Zedong
https://uncyclopedia.com/wiki/Mae_Zedong
‘Mae Zedong (December 26, 1893 — November 22, 1980)
…was an actress, writer and communist revolutionary famous for her daring double entendres and her belief that proletarian revolution could come from the peasant classes.
After winning control of mainland China in 1949, Zedong modernized the country through a series of risque comedies and films, filled with quips, one-liners and denunciation of “reactionary” elements.
These were later collected into the “Little Black Book,” which became a standard text for revolutionaries into the 1960s.’

Caledon is a small, windswept forested country at a temperate latitude. Wild creatures, country estate life, sights and sounds that were common well over 100 years ago are the hallmark of the land.
Technology is approximately that of the 19th Century, though some astonishing breakthroughs have provided for incredible wonders. Ground vehicles, airships, and even a device known as a ‘telehub’ are made possible through the power of exotic material properties and the wonders of Steam Technology.
The government is an expansionist monarchy, supported by a strong aristocracy.
