now there's a novel new function for under-used real estate...
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.

Ummmmm........CNN has been showing them bodies floating since the disaster.
Democracy is two wolves deciding on what to eat. Freedom is a well armed sheep protesting the vote.

Some of those bodies were dead long before the hurricane hit. The cemetaries regularly washout in floods in Louisianna. Quite a few are buried above ground in the southern part of the state as the water table is just below ground level. The death toll is being revised downward rather dramatically, fortunately. There is enough to do and be concerned with already.
