QOTD

Remember, the point isn't to build the new Jerusalem, crusade for utopia, or establish a libertarian paradise. The point is to get rid of these bastards and re-establish normal American politics, with all the usual compromises, dissemblings, backroom deals, and other moral misdemeanors that implies. All of which is one hell of an improvement on the rule of unfettered Might Makes Right, which is what we're on our way to right now.—Patrick Nielsen Hayden (in a comment thread on Making Light)

Personally I've allways felt the point was to build a new jerusulum...... but then i just love the song.

Since i'm anti monarchy the actual national anthem is a bit of a pain for me, so I treat it as ny own unoffical national anthem.
