The Danegeld
The Danegeld ("Dane gold") was an English tribute raised to pay off Viking raiders to save the land from being ravaged. The expeditions were usually led by the Danish kings, but they were composed by warriors from all over Scandinavia, and they eventually brought home more than 100 tonnes of silver.
Danegeld Rudyard Kipling It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation, To call upon a neighbour and to say: "We invaded you last night - we are quite prepared to fight, Unless you pay us cash to go away." And that is called asking for Dane-geld, And the people who ask it explain That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld And then you’ll get rid of the Dane! It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation, To puff and look important and to say: "Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you. We will therefore pay you cash to go away." And that is called paying the Dane-geld; But we’ve proved it again and again, That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld You never get rid of the Dane. It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation, For fear they should succumb and go astray, So when you are requested to pay up or be molested, You will find it better policy to say: "We never pay any one Dane-geld, No matter how trifling the cost, For the end of that game is oppression and shame, And the nation that plays it is lost!" |

![]() ![]() I got the 32 Gig Wifi model. I miss the 3G when I'm away from the house, but I couldn't see tying myself to a monthly payment. What did you get? Last edited by WT Sharpe; 12-17-2010 at 12:00 PM. |

64 Gb Wifi. Same reason. I'm either going to be playing with at home, work, or other places that have free wifi anyway. Actually, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I suspect I'll surf, listen to music, read the Kindle books I can't get for my Sony, and maybe play some games and draw and such. It's just an expensive toy for me.
