Abraham Lincoln's speech still resonates today: "In my opinion, it will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached, and passed..."" We shall not fail-if we stand firm, we shall not fail. Wise counsels may accelerate, or mistakes delay it, but, sooner or later, the victory is sure to come."http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/speeches/house.htm :kick:

| 2. Nope, they want chaos.... |
|
or they want a burned down house with them standing guard in front of it. Protecting what they no longer have.
I am considered an anarchist by some but I do not want chaos. I just don't want someone with complete authority ruling over my every move. I want reasonable rules that can be followed without having to sacrifice complete independent thought. Not too much to ask for is it? ;)
