Light crisis: cash is king. Moderate crisis: gold is king. Deep crisis: guns and cannons are king. Extreme crisis: food is king. No crisis: women are king. Women are worthless in front of the rich; the rich are worthless in front of power; power is worthless in front of guns; guns are worthless in front of the poor; the poor are worthless in front of women. This is the way of heaven, unchanging through the ages.
