Without further ado, I give you the prophecy:

Very apt.

With the first link the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

Indeed, pretty interesting.
Not as 'fear mongering' as I expected it to be, though I'm sure people will see it as such (the comments certainly prove that).
Unfortunately, it appears to be a very realistic representation of modern socialism/communism.
It still, however, perpetuates the idea that America is a Democracy, which I find odd.
And which big Russian leader was it that said something like, "The only way to bring America into Communism would be to give them it little by little until they one day wake up in Communism."

Furthermore, I think it's interesting that in schools they cover the fall of Rome, but not the reason.  I remember talking about it a lot, but we never really learned why.

Here's a good video related to the subject:

Sunday it felt a little better, but it was quite irritated from me rubbing it.

If you watch any of the really early episodes of the Porter Waggoner show she was in (1967) it's very clear that he was well endowed.

I am most disturbed by this thread's pro-hecy title.  Down with hecy!

Now I'm going to leave it that way just because I can.
