Emperor Norton org
is dedicated to promoting the factual history of Norton-1 as best
we can know it. We shall not, however, refrain from including well
credited absurdities befitting Our Sovereign's legend. Nor shall we
refrain from campaigning on His behalf, in particular for the renaming
of the Oakland Bay Bridge to the more fitting Emperor
Norton Bridge (restated here in case you skipped
our homepage where we beat on the point ad nauseum).
We are adherents to Norton-1's
exemplary three political principles, i.e.: |
|
1.
E Pluribus Unum (1 of these things is not like the others--but
it belongs)
2. Stare Decisis (hang tuf)
3. E Clampus Vitus (sic)
4. Credo Quia Absurdum (I believe because it's absurd.) |
Four!
Four political principles: |
|
1. E Pluribus
Unum (infinite diversity thru infinite combination)
2. Stare Decisis (facts to the contrary are irrelevant)
3. E Clampus Vitus (ibid.)
4. Credo Quia Absurdum ("The absurd is the essential
concept and the first truth.")
[Albert
Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus, 1942]
5. Non illigitamus carborundum (Don't let the bastards grind
you down.) |
Five!
Five political principles. But that's not important
right now. |
