    A VIKING CHRISTMAS STORY

    (worth repeating)

    Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the village

    The men sharpened knives and the boys dreamt of pillage.

    The skulls were all hung by the chimney with care

    In hopes on the morrow, more would be there.

    The girls were nestled all snug in their beds,

    While visions of jewelry, danced in their heads.

    And mamma in her gown, and I in my shirt,

    Had just caught our breath from a quick winter’s flirt.

    When out on the river there arose such a clatter,

    I sprang from the bed, to see what was the matter.

    Away to the Hall, I flew in a rush,

    Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.

    The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

    Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.

    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

    But a longboat with shields, and great men with their gear.

    With a bearded old man, lively and wisened,

    I knew in a moment it must be Lord Odin.

    More rapid than eagles his warriors they came,

    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

    “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

    On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!

    To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

    Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”

    As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

    When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

    So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

    With bags full of booty, and Lord Odin too.

    And then, in a twinkling, I heard at the door

    The laughter of brethren hardened by war.

    As I drew in my head, and was turning around,

    Lord Odin, through the portal, came with a bound.

    He was dressed all in grey, from his head to his foot,

    And his clothes were all fouled with snow and with soot.

    A bundle of booty he had flung on his back,

    And he looked like a merchant, just opening his pack.

    His eyes-how they twinkled! his laughter how merry!

    His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

    The beard of his chin was as white as the snow,

    And his purses, hung neatly, from his belt, in a row.

    The stump of a pipe, he held tight, in his teeth,

    And the smoke it, encircled his head, like a wreath.

    He had a long face, pointed hat, and grey cloak,

    That shook when he laughed, like the bough of an oak.

    He was tall and thin, but a jolly old elf,

    And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!

    But a wink of his eye, and a twist of his head,

    Soon gave me to know, I had nothing to dread.

    He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

    And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.

    And laying his finger, aside of his cheek,

    And giving a nod, tossed my share to my feet.

    He sprang to his boots, and to men gave a whistle,

    And away we all flew like the down of a thistle.

    And I heard him exclaim, ‘ere we ran into the night,

    “Happy Viking to all, and to all a good-fight!”

  • DEFINITION: SCOLDING, SCOLD, SCOLDS, SHREWS (disturbing the peace and harmony of

    DEFINITION: SCOLDING, SCOLD, SCOLDS, SHREWS

    (disturbing the peace and harmony of the commons)

    A medieval offense; women who were verbally disputative; who incited or agitated against the public peace.

    Related Terms: Ducking Stool, Common Scold, Scold. The convicted were called common scolds, or just scolds or even shrews.

    “A troublesome and angry woman who, by brawling and wrangling amongst her neighbours, breaks the public peace, increases discord and becomes a public nuisance….”

    Andrews, in his book Old Time Punishments explains why the medieval English even cared about scolding and scolds:

    “It is clear, from a careful study of the history of medieval times, that virtue and amiability amongst the middle and lower classes, generally speaking, did not prevail. The free use of the tongue gave rise to riots and feuds to such an extent that it is difficult for us to realize at the present day. A strong feeling against scolding woman came down to a late.”

    He also quotes from a 1467 Leicester city ordinance which provided that:

    “… scolds to be punished by on a cuck-stool before their own doors and then carried to the four gates of the town.”

    Usual punishment for scolding was either cucking stool or a ducking stool or even the imposition of a brank for a period of time. For men who incited unrest or were disputative, the typical punishment was a period of time in the stocks or the brank.

    Scolding and bad speech were coded as feminine offences by the late medieval period. Women of all marital statuses were prosecuted for scolding, though married women featured most frequently, while widows were rarely labelled scolds.

    Women who were also charged with other offences, such as violence, nightwandering, eavesdropping or sexual impropriety were also likely to be labelled scolds.

    Individuals were frequently labelled ‘common scolds’, indicating the impact of their behaviour and speech on the whole community.

    Men accused of scolding were often charged alongside their wives. Helen, wife of Peter Bradwall scolded Hugh Welesson and Isabel, his wife, in Middlewich in 1434, calling Isabel a “child murderer” and Hugh a “skallet [wretched] knave”. Isabel and Hugh also scolded Helen, calling her a “lesyng blebberer” (lying bletherer).

    All parties were fined for the offences, though Hugh and Isabel were fined jointly. Like women, male scolds were often accused of many other offences, such as fornication, theft, illegal trading, and assault.

    Karen Jones identified 13 men prosecuted for scolding in Kent’s secular courts, compared to 94 women and 2 couples.

    LATER PUNISHMENTS OF SCOLDING

    Later legal treatises reflected the dominance of scolding as a female offence. In the Commentaries on the Laws of England, Blackstone says of this offence:

    A common scold, communis rixatrix, (for our law-latin confines it to the feminine gender) is a public nuisance to her neighbourhood. For which offence she may be indicted; and, if convicted, shall be sentenced to be placed in a certain engine of correction called the trebucket, castigatory, or cucking stool, which in the Saxon language signifies the scolding stool; though now it is frequently corrupted into ducking stool, because the residue of the judgment is, that, when she is so placed therein, she shall be plunged in the water for her punishment.

    — Bl. Comm. IV:13.5.8, p. *169

    The prescribed penalty for this offence involved dunking the convicted offender in water in an instrument called the “cucking stool”. The cucking stool, according to Blackstone, eventually became known as a ducking stool by folk etymology.

    The Domesday Book notes the use of a cucking stool at Chester, a seat also known as cathedra stercoris, a “dung chair”, whose punishment apparently involved exposing the sitter’s buttocks to onlookers. This seat served to punish not only scolds, but also brewers and bakers who sold bad ale or bread, whereas the ducking stool dunked its victim into the water. Francois Maximilian Misson, a French traveller and writer, recorded the method used in England in the early 18th century:

    The way of punishing scolding women is pleasant enough. They fasten an armchair to the end of two beams twelve or fifteen feet long, and parallel to each other, so that these two pieces of wood with their two ends embrace the chair, which hangs between them by a sort of axle, by which means it plays freely, and always remains in the natural horizontal position in which a chair should be, that a person may sit conveniently in it, whether you raise it or let it down. They set up a post on the bank of a pond or river, and over this post they lay, almost in equilibrio, the two pieces of wood, at one end of which the chair hangs just over the water. They place the woman in this chair and so plunge her into the water as often as the sentence directs, in order to cool her immoderate heat.

    The ducking stool, rather than being fixed in position by the river or pond, could be mounted on wheels to allow the convicted woman to be paraded through the streets before punishment was carried out.

    Another method of ducking was to use the tumbrel, which consisted of a chair on two wheels with two long shafts fixed to the axles. This would be pushed into the ducking pond and the shafts would be released, tipping the chair up backwards and ducking the occupant.

    A scold’s bridle, known in Scotland as a brank, consists of a locking metal mask or head cage that contains a tab that fits in the mouth to inhibit talking. Some have claimed that convicted common scolds had to wear such a device as a preventive or punitive measure.

    Legal sources do not mention them in the context of the punishment of common scolds, but there are anecdotal reports of their historical use as a public punishment.

    In 17th-century New England and Long Island, scolds or those convicted of similar offences—both men and women—could be sentenced to stand with their tongue in a cleft stick, a more primitive but easier-to-construct version of the scold’s bridle, but the ducking stool also made the trip across the Atlantic.

  • Only European Peoples have dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of supersti

    Only European Peoples have dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of superstition, ignorance, hard labor, poverty, starvation, suffering, disease, child mortality, early death, freedom from heat and cold, and the vicissitudes of a nature hostile to life, and are the only people dragging us kicking and screaming once again to the stars, lest this earth decide once again to interrupt all life with catastrophe and death.

    HOW?

    1 – A Universal Militia Regardless of Cost

    2 – Excellence and Heroism Regardless of Cost

    3 – Duty and Commons Regardless of Cost

    4 – Truth and Oath Regardless of Cost

    5 – Promise and Contract Regardless of Cost

    6 – Sovereignty and Reciprocity Regardless of Cost

    7 – The Natural Law and Jury Regardless of Cost

    8 – Wherein every man a soldier, sheriff, judge, and his own legislator, of his own demonstrated interests.

    9 – And as a result – the only possibility for social organization is Voluntary Markets in: association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities, war.

    10 – Producing A Power distribution of Law(truth), A Pareto distribution of Assets, A Nash distribution of Rewards.

    11 – In a voluntary organization of production distribution and trade

    12 – Together producing the fastest possible means of human adaptation to circumstances;

    13 – Including the continuous evolutionary production of Human Agency (human capital);

    14 – By the domestication of man by market eugenics,

    15 – And as a result, the direction of surpluses to the production of commons, and the multiples of returns produced therefrom;

    16 – Including the unique high trust society;

    17 – And the informational, scientific, technological, medical, economic, social, political, and military benefits therefrom.

    18 – Yielding a genetic distribution free of the burden of underclass consumption, and the costs of their organization, administration, and care.

    Anyone can copy european peoples if you copy our eugenics long enough that you can copy our judges and our laws.

    YES STREAMING MUSIC HAS BEEN $10 FOR A DECADE. WHY?

    1) The contrary position is that all works that are individually reproducible are subsidized for no particular reason whatsoever, and that this contributes substantially to the declining quality (capital content) of the arts over the century. In other words, why do we subsidize it?

    2) Patents and Copyrights are subsidies, like welfare, Rent Seeking, or Corruption. While Trademarks are weights and measures. Creative commons solves this problem by requiring compensation for commercial use but not personal consumption.

    3) Copyright has inverted investment in the arts from aristocratic, heroic, and capitalizing to underclass, victimhood, and hyper consumption and hedonism. Arts like any market follow incentives, and these incentives are to the worst possible of all incentives.

    4) I don’t have any reasonable expectation that copyright other than creative commons will survive the next decade or so.

    That’s why streaming is only $10. Customers are paying for service not music. Because it’s already worth $0. Music is free. Nothing can stop it. Sharing won.

    And that’s a good thing.
