Why We Fight

He gets a lot of flak for wanting the national emblem to be the wild turkey (cuz it was wiley and hard to hunt, apparently), but Benjamin Franklin is forever remembered as one of the legendary Founding Fathers. And that is for good reason:

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.


When we fight against the (un)Patriot Act, the reinstatement of the Draft, the "zoning" of Free Speech, and all that we hate of this current administration, it is nice to know that, in so struggling, we honor the spirit of this great visionary.
