"All civilization begins in theocracy and ends in democracy."
"The invention of printing is the greatest event in history.
It is the mother of revolution. It is the mode of expression
of humanity which is totally renewed; it is human thought
stripping off one form and donning another; it is the complete
and definitive change of skin of that symbolical serpent which
since the days of Adam has represented intelligence."
And here I am, right square in the middle of Huckabee and Paul country.
It's pretty danm unlikely that Hillary will gain Georgia, but never say I didn't try. It's a forelorn hope I suppose, but oh-well. The kids next door tell me "Hillary is good to the Mexican peoples", but the kid across the street says "Mom says she did evil things". The guy at the pizza place gave me high-fives for being a fellow supporter, but refused a button because he "don't wanna get shot at". Anne Colter (BOOOO HISSSS) says she'll vote for HIllary rather than McCain. We have a regular posse of Ron Paul desciples that stand in the median of the highway come rain or come shine waving their signs and chanting. I also have one co-worker who says to me "Ralph Nader where ARE you when we need you?" Last but not least, Codename:Unglef says "She's the Devil, but she's still better than Huckabee."
So..tomorrow (today) is MegaSuper Tuesday.
It's also Mardi-Gras
That means NO MORE political posts from me until the end of Lent.
In surprisingly politically-charged orc-related news, these pearls of wisdom came from Emma the Scooter-Girl this afternoon when she saw my trunkload of Hillary stake-signs.
"You mean you stopped saving the ogres and orcs for this?"
Yeah.. kinda made me feel guilty for having been neglectful. I promise to rectify that in the not-too-far-away future.
PS if you've not yet been to Project Gutenberg, go now. It's like Napster.. but with books... you know.. those things you used to read before teh interwebz ate your brain.
