It is easy because you do not expect to be challenged. And if you are, somehow, you will respond with more superficial sarcasm. You can pretend that it passes for substance, that it is a suitable replacement for a moral stance, or a point-of-view, but it does not.

You know nothing of me... or you would show more respect.

What do you know of Ayn Rand? The book cover, or the wisdom bestowed CliffsNotes? You know nothing of Ayn Rand... or you would show more respect. And you know nothing of Prince Lazarus Long, of Queen Maureen, or of the Principality of New Utopia. This is a man who dares to answer Thoeau's challenge, to not only build castles in the air, but to put the foundation under them.

With others peoples money he's willing to build a kingdom for his queen and himself. How noble.

I am proud to be part of the cadre of Believers who will follow this man to the end of the Earth, no matter how ludicrous detractors judge the effort.

So are you something besides the court jester? One of the kings old boyfriends? Part of the scam? Did you put up your share of the money or working it off as an internet troll? Venom equity?

As you read the following poem, ask yourself: Which are you? Then proceed to ridicule me at will. I may be a fool, but I know which I am.

Poem: "There are few who build up/And many tear down/But most just keep buzzing/ Around and around."

Angus O'Mann, Poet Laureate, Principality of New Utopia

Sorry, Angry Old Man, I don't fit in your pitiful poetry. I don't build my fortune by tearing down others savings and I don't buzz around and around hoping for crumbs. At least if you and the royal family fall off utopia into the ocean, you won't have to worry about sharks....professional courtesy.

Since I graduated from a highly competitive four-year liberal arts college in the Northeast, and have read every word Ayn Rand published, including both the fiction *and* the hardest of hard-ass non-fiction, as well as all major Heinlein novels, I feel marvelously qualified to tell you to fuck off.

Maybe he's just, you know, "composing" a poim for the Prince. You don't get to be Laureate just by sittin' around doing nothing, ya know.

I do hope he comes back. He was killer.

Oh, and I read some of those Ayn Rand quotes on their website. I am so afraid.
