And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
You need to shave the beard and your head and go with the Moshe Dyan eyepatch in my opinion. If growing a beard is the trend, it's better to be counter culture -- and sinister at the same time.
COUNTER culture. Go for the whole disassociated mercenary look. Dayan was neither a mercenary or counterculture in his day -- but today he'd be totally politically incorrect in the US and I'm sure that Obama would despise him.
Docile, herbivore people need to be put off by the way you look.
How true. That's the whole theory behind the beard thing - that it intimidates the vegetarian metrosexual types, and scares the ladies, but just a little, giving you the "bad boy" cachet that they find irresistible. It's a reaction against the feminization of America ( of course, I just let my wife veto the pirate look - what does that say about me?)

ReplyDeleteMoshe Dyan! Who these days except you, me and the Diplomad remembers that guy? And he was a major badass.
DeleteOk, I ran your idea of shaved head/pirate eyepatch a la Moshe Dayan past the wife. It has been vetoed.
DeleteI think that she's a fun stopper…
