Ninety miles from the South Eastern tip of the United States, Liberty has no stead. In order for Liberty to exist and thrive, Tyranny must be identified, recognized, confronted and extinguished.

I'd Rather Die On My Feet Than Live On My Knees...
On Your Feet or on Your Knees Motörhead I was looking at the t.v. news People everywhere blowing a fuse People everywhere under the gun Little kids dying never had no fun
Human beings ain't got no brains Think you're better but you're all the same Think you're clever but you're all to blame Here we are again in the same old frame
Shut up, I'm talkin' to you It's on television so it can't be true And I can't play that game no more Wake up and see it through Kill the many to save the few I know what the blind man sees On your feet or on your knees
Headline terror, crime on rise Half ain't true and the rest is lies Same smile on the same old face Same old horse win the same old race
I wouldn't smile if I was you Don't relax, 'cause it ain't so new Watch your back, light the light outside Somebody comin'…
The movie 300 did a big disservice to the history of Thermopylae. While Leonidas may have "lost" the battle, his stalling action allowed Greece to evacuate her cities. This allowed the Greeks to crush the Persian empire mere years later.
It was the Spartan ideal to live on your feet rather than die on your knees that allowed them to crush their enemies in most situations. We could learn a lot from the Spartans.

People everywhere blowing a fuse
People everywhere under the gun
Little kids dying never had no fun
Human beings ain't got no brains
Think you're better but you're all the same
Think you're clever but you're all to blame
Here we are again in the same old frame
Shut up, I'm talkin' to you
It's on television so it can't be true
And I can't play that game no more
Wake up and see it through
Kill the many to save the few
I know what the blind man sees
On your feet or on your knees
Headline terror, crime on rise
Half ain't true and the rest is lies
Same smile on the same old face
Same old horse win the same old race
I wouldn't smile if I was you
Don't relax, 'cause it ain't so new
Watch your back, light the light outside
Somebody comin'…
