Sic semper tyrannis

I'm sure you know that "Sic semper tyrannis" was supposedly uttered by John Wilkes Booth... who was of course utterly correct.

Of course, Russell! But the sentiments expressed are far older than that.

Oh, absolutely! I was saying this for 3rd parties who might not yet have that insight... and yet another opportunity to disabuse Lincoln fetishists who are likely to find this blog entry by way of a Google search: hey guys, read L. Neil Smith's The American Lenin.

Sic Semper Tyrannis indeed!
