Thank you for the Imperial March. I posted a new post called Enemy Identification. By acknowledging the enemy as the enemy instead of sugar coating them, I am able to be most effective in disarming them.

I do have at least one such ability. But a Jedi Master or Sith Lord I am not.

I have my fun, Robbie, but not when the Stormtroopers are after me as you suggested. That is serious war.

No. I was referring to the traditional Stormtroopers music.

You can bet every employee that works at the Fed had no worries at all. We just print that money to pay all our members. Just like asking someone who has no money for their bills "Well we will take a check".

You, and me, and the rest of the public
-- well, those that are awake that is.

Will do.

Enjoy Pendulum of Justice, that's a great book. The Khalings are certainly among the group of revolutionaries I was talking about. And thank you for downloading The Golden Pinnacle. Let me know what you think of it.

I know that discussion of this movie will be lost on this audience, but wouldn't it be nice if like at the end of the movie "Merlin" that liberals would go away if we ignored them in the same way those in Camelot just walked away from Queen Mab and her magic?

Straightlinelogic, I downloaded The Golden Pinnacle from Amazon about three weeks ago and am going to read it after I'm done with Pendulum of Justice by dbhalling and khalling.

You're never going to hide from them and you're never going to escape from them. Other than their own inevitable collapse, the only way victory is possible over these people is open rejection of their government by revolutionaries with complete moral certainty in the rightness of their cause and a clear understanding of what they want as a replacement for the present system. Galt's Gulch is a perfect haven for such people, and some of us are making our stand via literature, blogs, and other means presumably protected by the First Amendment. "You don't know what you've lost if you don't know what you had." The Golden Pinnacle is my attempt to show what we've lost. The next two books in the trilogy will show how to get it back.

In my Yoda voice: Hmmm. The way of "the dark side" that is. Cue a little stormtroopers music.

Bring it on. Most, if not all, Gulch citizens do not need anyone else. There are some others, like Gulch citizenry and my family and friends, that are nice to be around, but I do not NEED anyone else.

Let them come and get me. I have my escape plans prepared and am working on Galtproofing my lab.

This is why Thomas Jefferson was correct when he said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

He doesn't have much to fear, does he?

Drat!

I was hoping that the one federal employee that got laid off would be Dear Leader.

You must have meant to say "Fearless Leader"
:)
