(Inspired by Wild Bill Hickok’s Code of the West)

A man’s word is his bond: An agreement settled with a handshake is as binding as any contract. And is a man swears to something, it must be so. No victory is worth being labeled a cheater.

A man rides for the brand: When a man joins an organization or accepts a job, it is assumed he accepts the workings and attitudes and standing of that organization for the term of his stay.

A man is a straight shooter: In all his dealings a man is fair and honest. he expects others to do the same.

A man is neighborly: As a man knows he may need help someday, a helping hand to those in need is his obligation.

A man can take care of his own: A man strives to be as self-reliant as possible. He does all he can do to provide the best for his family. He has the ultimate responsibility for their protection and sustenance. Further, a man has a responsibility to his community and its welfare and protection. A man should be prepared to serve and aide in an emergency situation.

A man uses his head: A man develops his logic and attitudes towards a goal of common sense. And though a man demands his rights and only he can define them as he is willing to defend them, consideration of the rights of others and laws of government must be honored.

A man has the right to speak his mind: A man may say whatever he wishes as long as the intent is not to maliciously injure another person or cheat that person of his property.

A man has the right to protect his property: From birth a man begins accumulating property. And with that he grows. And his property is part of him. He has a right to expect it not to be stolen or destroyed. He may do what is necessary to keep that from happening.

A man has the right to privacy: A man has the right to run his life as he seems fit, as long as it causes no unfair burden on another individual. Nobody may enter a man’s home uninvited.

A man has the right to be armed: In a crisis, the only protection a man may have for his family and his community is himself and his neighbors. And the best defense agains criminal activity is a threat of resistance and immediate reprisal.

If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don’t you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can’t think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you’re supposed to read? Do you think every thing you’re supposed to think? Buy what you’re told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you’re alive. If you don’t claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned – Tyler Durden

Some years ago, I attended a Catholic retreat and confided to the priest that I had some ideas that were somewhat at variance with the current Church positions. He was an excellent debater, and argued quite persuasively that I could not hold the viewpoints I held and still remain a Catholic. I thanked him for the clarification and left the Church.
