LET'S ROLL!!!
Howdy!
Since when does the LAW apply to anything strikers want to do?
It has been a historic day. I have to agree with Rush, this election was another loss at the polls for the RATS. It is wonderful to think of them standing, cold and dejected, in their little corners snarling as we celebrate FREEDOM.
Freedom is such an intoxicating idea. I don't think I have hidden from y'all that at times I have been in a corner of the world where the locals want to separate from the national government. I will never forget one summer in July when the talk of rebellion was reaching a boiling point. The local young men would ride around on their motorcycles, brandishing their weapons yelling, "freedom, freedom, freedom." The idea of being able to decide your own leaders, make your own laws, impose your own taxes and forge your own alliances instead of having them imposed upon you against your will, gave the locals the strength to make at least token stands.
The situation has settled down for the time being. However, the light freedom hasn't left. The locals are continually flying their own sepratist flag, often at the cost of a life or two, and are meeting in conclaves here or there to discuss the next strategy.
It is the desire for freedom which keeps their hopes alive.
Today was historic for the people of Iraq.
Just a reminder:
I'm looking forward to a picture of your current Christmas tree in your current cottage.
