A few words on my avatar. The tartan is Ancient Mackay, of which McKee is a variant spelling or sept. I got the motto from reading a book explaining Japanese culture called The Chrysanthemum and the Sword. Rather than saying that the pen is mightier than the sword, I believe that both have their purpose and work together, not against each other. There is no need to say that one is mightier than than the other. When properly used you would not want to be skewered with either one.
