the emperor of colorado is dead

it turns out the man police shot and killed outside the colorado state capitol building was the emperor of colorado. he was following in the footsteps of the 19th century emperor of the united states and protector of mexico, joshua a. norton, who carried out his imperial reign from san francisco and was hailed as a hero by all citizens of that great city on the bay. this new emperor was only emperor of colorado, not the entire united states. it is shameful that he was denied the chance to rule a government that was rightfully his. i mean, he had personally declared himself to be the emperor, and there is no higher authority than someone who calls themselves an emperor. napoleon bonaparte called himself an emperor and people respected that. people believed in napoleon, and he in turn made all their wildest dreams come true. i find it shocking that people are no longer willing to submit to authority figures such as self-proclaimed emperors. oh how the mighty have fallen! this should be a real wake-up call for all of us in the united states of america. why are we so unwilling to submit to the authority of a self-proclaimed emperor? what if jesus came down from heaven and declared himself emperor? would we shoot him dead too? something to think about.
