Henotikon
The Henotikon (/həˈnɒtᵻkən/ or /həˈnɒtᵻˌkɒn/ in English; ἑνωτικόν "act of union") was a christological document issued by Byzantine emperor Zeno in 482, in an unsuccessful attempt to reconcile the differences between the supporters of the Council of Chalcedon and the council's opponents. It was followed by the Acacian schism.
History
In 482 the Patriarchate of Alexandria passed to Peter III, who proved to be a supporter of the christological opinion commonly called monophysitism or more accurately miaphysitism, despite the condemnation of this opinion at the Council of Chalcedon. The Patriarch of Constantinople, Acacius, devised an eirenic formula of unity called the Henotikon, which Zeno promulgated without the approval of the Bishop of Rome or of a Synod of bishops. By this act, Zeno hoped to placate the increasingly miaphysite provinces of Egypt, Palestine and Syria, which were under increasing attacks by the Persian Sassanid dynasty.
The Henotikon endorsed the condemnations of Eutyches and Nestorius made at Chalcedon and explicitly approved the twelve anathemas of Cyril of Alexandria, but avoided any definitive statement on whether Christ had one or two natures, attempting to appease both sides of the dispute.

Handgun
by: General PublicNow there's a place I know, and I sometimes love
where they're born in the shadow of a rifle club
Hearts of gold, but they're in some doubt
when it's time to get the handgun out
Time to get, get the handgun
Time to get the handgun out
Now it's time to get, good God, good gosh
Get the handgun out!
Now a stranger can see instantly
all the strains in this society
Not a melting pot, it's a centrifuge
where the quick, and the dead
are both equal losers!
Get all your trucks, collect them free
Drive to the ocean, throw them in the sea!
Time to get, get the handgun
Time to get the handgun out
Now it's time to get, good God, good gosh
Get the handgun out!
Now there's a place I know, and I sometimes love

Hearts of gold, but they're in some doubt
When it's time to get the handgun out
Get all your trucks, collect them free
Drive to the ocean, throw them in the sea!

Hearts of gold, but they're down on love
Born in the shadow of a rifle club
Hearts of gold, but they're in some doubt
When it's time to get the handgun out
Time to get, get the handgun
Time to get the handgun out
Now it's time to get, good God, good gosh
