Long live the republic of Carthage.

This reminds me of that story here in Atlanta where the guy was praying devoutly: "Oh Lord, please let me win the lotto!"
And the voice from on high came down: "I will my son, but you must meet me half way. Buy some lotto tickets!"
The moral of the story?
Don't rear up against the lawful national authority and you won't get slam dunked by the good guys.
