"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If 'Thou shalt not covet' and 'Thou shalt not steal' were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free."
-John Adams, A Defense of the American Constitutions, 1787

To Sit In The Throne
"Stand guard Mandy! I have grown old and weary, yet I sit and wait for our new guests to arrive for the meeting. I do not fear the darkness that trails them in the light, but it is they that shall fear the darkness we will encompass upon them. Don't let my blonde hair, and teddy bear brown eyes fool you, at the end of the day, I am, we are, "The Family". These shadows will soon learn our family motto, 'Don't ever, ever, touch our bones!' We can see in the dark, we can hunt in the dark, we can thrive in the dark, but can a shadow, who has only seen light, their light, survive one moment in darkness. I think its time for "The Tank" to educate.

Quote Of The Day 3/24/10
"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader."
-Samuel Adams, letter to James Warren, February 12, 1779

"They're comming", he said, but did we listen? He warned us, and warned us that they wanted what we had, and now they have come to take what will soon be theirs. "Not without a fight", says "The Tank".
