If they're doing this, they should print on the back of the guitar the name, address, and all other available public information on the various .gov bureaucrats who instigated proceedings in the first place.

Just giving credit where credit is due.  >:D

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

"If you won't destroy your company to make a Quixotic stand then you're a traitor and I have no use for your product!"

This line of thinking illustrates so much that's wrong with libertarianism/anarchism etc. I get pissed every time I see the LP running a POTUS candidate. It's a gigantic waste of time and money they should be allocating to getting folks elected to small local offices that 1. are realistically attainable goals and 2. where they could actually make decisive small gov changes and promote their ideology.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Hell they can't even run a local or state candidate successfully much of the time. When the election cycle comes up invariably there is a libertarian candidate for at least one of the local or state offices yet you've never heard their name before. No signs on the side of the road no ads, no articles, no local radio or TV spots, nada, zilch, nothing. Invariably the Republican and Democrat candidates have at least coverage with signs and such so you've at least seen the name and know they are running for office ahead of time before you get to the ballot booth.

Had a discussion about this with the old hippie who runs the local folk music shop. His take on the Gibson raid almost made me choke: "You know why Gibson was raided? Martin wasn't, Talor wasn't. It's because the president is really a conservative"\

Just figured y'all could use the giggle

I do believe the Sixties were very good to this man.
