How is the rest of the Squatt family doing?

Mighty kind of you to inquire. Unfortunately, most of them don't seem to know me.

As to the Caesar quote, perhaps I went over the heads of a few literalists. Basically all I was saying is that we should try and adhere to the law of the land. If it is unjust, try and change it. If it is oppressive, that's another matter. But I'm sorry, a drivers license and the federal income tax are not oppressive. Onerous, overdone, and irritating, but not oppressive. IMHO, these militia knee-jerk chicken littles seem to adopt as a hero any renegade who the govt is against, whether just or unjust, without exercising sufficient judgement. To me that is no different from the Black community failing to differentiate between MLK and OJ.

That is the same as telling someone to change the odds at a gambling casino. If the intent is to profit nobody in the casino is going to change it for you to win.
Kind of like sitting down to play with a card shark only you don't know that the dealer is a card shark and the guy to your right is in on it too.
Would you please not sit to my right...

BTW...you didn't go over my head. I understood exactly what you meant and were doing.

I believe you were trying to do more than that.
Crack that whip!
