For my 1,000th post, a snippet:

"Upon reviewing HR 3162 (the USA/PATRIOT act) Congressman (Ron) Paul said to reporter (Kelly) O'Meara,

'Our forefathers would think it's time for a revolution. This is why they revolted in the first place....They revolted against much more mild oppression.'"

Crossing the Rubicon by Michael C. Ruppert, page 485.

2. Thanks, Skittles--I never thought I'd make it this far.

Either on DU or anywhere. I've outlived my expectations and probably everyone else's too.

This is probably a good time to say that I'm truly grateful to the administrators, the moderators, and all DUers (even the ones I disagree with) for teaching me new and important things every day, and for lightening up the lessons with much-needed humor.

7. I second that

I'd be long gone were it not for DU, being a Democrat in Texas. The sheer diversity in the DU is amazing - I love as a middle-aged gal being able to converse with people young and old, in different states and countries, who think like I do about the Bush misadministration. YES INDEED!!!

5. We've always been legit.

We've got an illegitimate government, is all.

Do you know much about anarchy? I saw something recently about the different between leftist anarchy (the good kind) and right-wing anarchy (probably mostly government provocateurs and disinfo--not good stuff). Could you point me to any websites where I could learn more about it?
