What's your Favorite

[Sir Benedict]

I think it's about time that we got to get to know each other a little better, so let's play a game. I'll pose a "What's your favorite...?" question, and the next person will answer my question and then pose a "What's your favorite...?" question of their own.

I'll start with the obvious one. What's your favorite color?

[Connor Stumperth I]

Blue is my favorite color.

What is your favorite animal?

[Sir Benedict]

Lions.

What's your favorite food?

[Pan Kristoff Drevo]

Any kind of cookie baked by a particular person who will remain unnamed.

What's your favorite flag (besides your own)?

[Sir Benedict]

I've personally always liked the flag of Georgia (the country, not the state).

Favorite song?

[Pan Kristoff Drevo]

Funny, so have I.

I've always had a partiality to Dvorak's "New World Symphony."

Favorite composer/group?

[Sir Benedict]

Electric Light Orchestra.

Favorite President (of the United States)?

[Pan Kristoff Drevo]

Abraham Lincoln. I've always thought of him as a hero. It's America's great past that made it a difficult decision to be a micronationalist, but it's terrible present solved the problem.

Favorite Roman emperor (if nobody responds for a while, I'll know that they're out of favor and nobody really likes them)?

[Sir Benedict]

I've always thought of Abraham Lincoln as one of our worst Presidents. Feel free to ask me why if you have some time to kill and you don't mind me getting worked up.

Constantine.

Favorite movie?

[Pan Kristoff Drevo]

All right, I will ask why. Is it because he was president during the civil war?


Well, the movie I list is not necessarily an all-time favorite, but I would say Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator."

Favorite topic to go off on a spiel about?

[Sir Benedict]

Where do I begin? Quite frankly, I don't like him because he turned his back on that which we, as Americans and micronationalists, hold most dear: freedom. America was founded on classical liberal principles, including the right of self government. Now I ask you this: is there really self government in America if whenever you try to peacefully exercise it an army of Yankees comes that kills your children, burns your fields, and then makes you embrace "freedom" at gunpoint? I also don't like the way he blatantly disregarded the constitution. I won't bore you, but I could make a convincing argument that no federal law since 1861 (including the reconstruction amendments) has been constitutional, on behalf of West Virginia being treated as a state when it is not (constitutionally speaking). This is the 30 second synopsis; I have more should you want to hear it.

Abraham Lincoln/The Civil War, if it wasn't obvious from the above.

Favorite fruit?

[Pan Kristoff Drevo]

Pears.

I forgot that you were from Texas. But now that I see where you're coming from, I almost agree with you. Didn't know that there was still so much difference between North and South.

I'm sort of going off on a limb here, but... favorite painting?

[Sir Benedict]

Raphael's Transfiguration.

Actually, its not so much one's home as much as it is one's ideological perspective. While it is true that people from the South are predisposed to dislike Lincoln for obvious reasons, I have friends from Connecticut who have the same opinions as I do concerning his legacy.

Favorite sculpture?

[Pan Kristoff Drevo]

Yeah, I definitely went out on a limb. And the limb broke. Most sorry, I can't answer that. I don't know enough sculptures, Byzantine as I am.

Favorite board game?

[Sir Benedict]

Monopoly, even though whenever I play I never get to finish because everyone quits as soon as I start winning.

Favorite card game?
