MariPere's Proposed Simplification of the Rules

I think our Rules are too hard to understand, and much too complex for an organization our size. Who's supposed to be tipsing all those lorries? Lorries are Big. Ancient Ways is Small. We have no business messing with lorries until we have a much larger active membership.

Until then, I propose that the Rules be streamlined as follows:

Article I. Intro

Basic Agenda:

1. Regere imperio populos.
2. Pacisque imponere morum.
3. Parcere subiectis.
4. Debellare superbos.

Article II. Body

All members are encouraged to:

1. Find something in Latin.
2. Throw themselves at it until they understand it.
3. Find something else.
4. Repeat.

(Atque memento, nulli adsunt Romanorum qui locutionem vestram corrigant.)

Article III. Conclusion

"Having done these things, they made the sacrifices prescribed by custom lest they be found lacking in filial piety." -- Henricus Barbatus, Lingua Latina Occasionibus Omnibus
