Live free or die
If the paper is to be believed, I'm jittery about being gassed or sickened or irradiated like cousin Harry. Don't believe everything you read. If someone wants to inform me that I, Josh, will be injured in some specific fashion at some certain time, then I'm happy to do something about it. If, on the other hand, I'm supposed to sit around and worry or maybe just buy some duct tape, then I'll have to happily ignore all the fearmongering. I mean, didn't Winston Churchill go out to the theatre every night, braving the V2 rockets that terrorized London just to demonstrate that there was no point in acting frightened? That's what I want Tom Ridge and W. to be doing.

I, for one, find it tough to avoid thinking of Scissorfight's apt appropriation of a certain Revolutionary era motto. Heavy redneck metal is really the only way to deal with polychromatic boogeymen about which citizens can do nothing but burn less oil:


Weed, guns, and axes
We don't pay our taxes
Cause we don't exist
On any government list
Yeah we're survivalists
In the wilderness
Our battle cry:
"Live free or die"

We've got a war to wage.
We've got a war to wage.
You wanna war to wage?
Give you a war to wage...
