Warning: Rum and Coke

Yep, unsatisfactory cheap rum and gen-you-wine Coke bring you this important message from our sponsors.

EXPRESS TELEGRAM
FROM: RETAXIS
TO: THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH

MESSAGE BEGINS

REGARDS TO OBAMA FROM THE PRINCE OF EARTH STOP RETAXIS WELCOMES HIS NEW SOCIALIST OVERLORD STOP WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH EASTASIA STOP RUNNING OUT OF COKE BEFORE RUM IS A BAD SIGN STOP ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAD A LOT OF COKE STOP

MESSAGE ENDS

Seriously, though, Orwell's "1984" was not an instruction manual. There are a lot of people who seem willing enough to trade freedom for safety, and then trade both for bread and circuses. In my experience, most of those people have simply never been taught about freedom and responsibility in a sense greater than their grinding daily lives.

My freedom has no price. I will not trade it.

Fuck you. Stay off my lawn.
