What if the Bill of Rights were replaced? Those who do not know their rights stand the greatest chance of having them taken away.

  1. Thank you, Misty. Very powerful and chilling vid. Led me to this comparison of two words showing one to be a little stronger than the other:

    Dissent: verb, hold or express opinions that are at variance with those previously, commonly, or officially expressed; separate from an established or orthodox church because of doctrinal disagreement.

    Defiance: noun, open resistance; bold disobedience

      Just replace certain words, and this will apply TODAY.

      Cue Pirate’s Song:

      The king and his men
      stole the queen from her bed
      and bound her in her Bones.
      The seas be ours
      and by the powers
      where we will well roam.

      Yo, ho, haul together,
      hoist the colors high.
      Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
      never say we die.

      Some men have died
      and some are alive
      and others sail on the sea
      – with the keys to the cage…
      and the Devil to pay
      we lay to Fiddler’s Green!

      The bell has been raised
      from it’s watery grave…
      Do you hear it’s sepulchral tone?
      We are a call to all,
      pay head the squall
      and turn your sail toward home!

      Yo, ho, haul together,
      hoist the colors high.
      Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
      never shall we die.
