Partypup: You didn’t finish the Jefferson quote. It reads: “The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots AND TYRANTS”.

I think we are reaching an inflection point in this country and, for the government, the worst of all possible things is happening: The People (capital P) are WAKING UP.

I remember watching the death of communism at the close of the Cold War and those massive demonstrations in Prague, and Warsaw and, most importantly, East Berlin and the fall of the Berlin Wall. That massive monolithic Soviet machine went with a whimper and not a bang and as a result of millions of oppressed people deciding that enough was enough.

Are we so socialized as to have lost that spark of revolution? Or not? If it is the latter, then TPTB had better watch out. Last time I checked, when Americans are roused to righteous fury, you better watch the fuck out.

P.S. Hey, Breezie, welcome back, man! To reality, that is.
