Just a piece of cloth:





The guy who throws a ball around can go screw.

Yeah, It's just a cloth that represents the millions of men and women who sacrificed their youth, delayed their futures and often their lives so that you could play a child's game on Television for millions of dollars a year. Freedom is not free and life is hard,. It's even harder when your stupid.

To NeedmorePaine - You asked for it! Here it is. More Paine - Thomas Paine - from his best seller "Common Sense".

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.

These are the times that try men's souls.

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value.

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

We have it in our power to begin the world over again.

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.
