17th Earl of Oxenford. Failed aristocrat. Number go down storytelling. I’m less useful than a prophet. I’m a poet. Bitcoin.
How do we convince all of the old based guys like Dave Collum to come to #Nostr?
Nostr is for those that know the Constitution has been defeated and any attempt to revive it is an invitation to defeat it in a similar fashion for a second time.
Nothing makes everyone more nervous than when someone asks, “May I see an expense report for the last 5 years.”

Colonialism wasn’t all bad. In fact, the majority of it was not bad.
IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation To call upon a neighbour and to say: – "We invaded you last night – we are quite prepared to fight, Unless you pay us cash to go away." And that is called asking for Dane-geld, And the people who ask it explain That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld And then you'll get rid of the Dane! It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation, To puff and look important and to say: – "Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you. We will therefore pay you cash to go away." And that is called paying the Dane-geld; But we've proved it again and again, That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld You never get rid of the Dane. It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation, For fear they should succumb and go astray; So when you are requested to pay up or be molested, You will find it better policy to say: -- "We never pay any-one Dane-geld, No matter how trifling the cost; For the end of that game is oppression and shame, And the nation that plays it is lost!" Dane-geld - Rudyard Kipling
“Take up the dollar’s burden, By sitting on the shame, If you have empty pockets, It’s better than the fame, Of having deep, worn leather, Tucked in a denim slot, You put it on the table, They take all that you’ve got,” A stanza from something I’ve been working on.

There’s not a way to do #Nostr polls is there? It may be for the best. I like comments as feedback anyway.
