Piñon Canyon

There is a meeting on Piñon Canyon expansion next Wednesday, the 16th. As I don't know what will be said there, I don't know if I will say anything. I have heard that the army has not threatened to use eminent domain to take control of property. If that is true, then I see no issue with the military attempting to purchase land, as any land they get would be from willing sellers. No issue except that any purchase they make would be made with stolen money.

Guess I'll just have to attend on Wednesday and see what happens.

The fifth of November

"Remember, remember the fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot.  I know of no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot."

It's true that the original plot was motivated by religion, but it is not Guy Fawkes' original acts which are now commemorated by the quote.  As V says, symbols are given strength by people.  The quote now represents the stand against tyranny that we all must take if we are to get anywhere.  Not necessarily a violent stand, but a stand of some kind, of any kind.  We must all be wrenches, or at least dirt, in the quickly rusting cogs of the system that with live in.  Those who apply the grease are our enemies, as they are the enemies of all free men.  One man standing alone has no power against the behemoth that we face, but a million individuals laughing in the face of the bloated mass that seeks to enslave us would freeze it in its tracks.  The only thing stopping us is fear.  Once we all can learn to laugh instead of fearing, we will have won.

They feed on your fear.  Starve them.  Do it for yourself, and for those that you love.
