Me and John Wayne

Wow!

What a dream.

Did ya ever wonder what sparks the meandering of the mind during a dream?

I just came thrashing up out of the covers on the bed; ripping anda snatching at the CPAP mask on my face.

John Wayne and I along with a few other including a house of gold-hearted working girls in a bar/meeting hall had established the beginnings of a town in a bucolic valley deep in the mountains way the hell off somewhere. (hey it's a dream there were no road signs, OK?)

Working to build living quarters and protecting the place from nefarious types from far and wide. Claims jumpers, beaters of women, you know the type, we were kept busy just trying to keep the rif-raf out.

Despite our best shooting and efforts the town grew....technology intruded......a sawmill...
roads...new houses...flattening of the mountain tops for the building of new house with the inevitable influx of new people, till.......

....... despite numerous wounds received in battles big and small we were reduced to pensioners waiting of the dividend checks from the electric power station up near the big highway, which John tells me I should be glad to get.

Strange, the things that flash between the bits of gray matter late at night, or depending on how you look at it......early in the morning.

Does it mean anything......or was it that last handful of bugles I washed down with Diet Pepsi before bedtime?

Whatever, John Wayne will always be a hero of mine for one quote...

"Life is hard, it's even harder when you're stupid."

I think that sometimes dreams do mean things, but they can only be interpreted in realtion to the person dreaming them. In other words, You and I could have virtually the same dream and it could "mean" something very different to each of us. Or it could mean nothing at all.

I seldom remember my dreams. I'll go months and months without seeming to dream at all, though I probably do. If the dream really has an impact on me it might stick around, otherwise I either don't remember it at all or it gets fuzzy really fast.; 8:00 AM

Treason

Whereas, on the 14th of December, 2011, the House of Representatives of these United States voted in favor of indefinite military detention, without charges, of any American, anywhere, anytime, without due process of law, at the discretion of the government alone;

Whereas, on the 15th of December, 2011, the Senate of these United States voted in favor of the same bill;

Whereas, on the 31st of December, 2011, the President of the United States signed the same;

Whereas, the proscription against the use of military force to police the populous has been an essential feature of American civic life and civic liberty since the arrival of our civilization upon this continent;

Whereas, the wanton violation of this proscription was one of the chief causes of the separation of the American peoples from their government in Great Britain;

Whereas, the Constitution so chartering the government of these United States does not grant this power;

Whereas, the Constitution forbids the addition of any power not enumerated to the general government;

Whereas, the use of such draconian measures has been an essential feature of the enforcement of tyranny by totalitarian governments of the 20th century, including, but not limited to, the Nationalist-Socialist government of Germany, the fascist government of Italy, the government of the United Soviet Socialist Republics, and the government of Vietnam;

Whereas, the use of such draconian measures is carefully calculated to quash all political dissent amongst a captive people;

Whereas, the codification of such draconian measures effectively nullifies all civil liberties the people may hope to hold;

Whereas, the codification of such draconian measures are the last act in the quest to hold a people captive to the rapacious will of their government without recourse;

And whereas, the codification of such draconian measures is an act of war against the populous at large;

Therefore, be it declared that a STATE OF WAR formally exists between the Government of these United States and the People of these United States.

We, the People of these United States, declare any and all attempts to enforce the provisions of HR 1540 to be unlawful, void, and of no force.

We, declare ALL WHO voted in favor of HR 1540, and ALL WHO attempt to enforce HR 1540 to be traitors to these United States, punishable under law.

We, SHALL DISOBEY, APPREHEND, OR RESIST WITH DEADLY FORCE, in our discretion, any person who attempts to enforce the provisions of HR 1540.

We, SHALL NOT aggress against any employee of any American government who shall not attempt to enforce or aid and abet the enforcement of HR 1540, they being as trapped as the rest of the populous.

Such STATE OF WAR shall continue until HR 1540 is stricken from the code of law, and all who had hand in HR 1540 are brought to justice under due process of law.

Signed and witnessed by we, the individual citizens of these United States, below:
