Every Man Should Have A Rifle

Henry Lawson
1907

So I sit and write and ponder, while the house is deaf and dumb,
Seeing visions "over yonder" of the war I know must come.
In the corner – not a vision – but a sign for coming days
Stand a box of ammunition and a rifle in green baize.
And in this, the living present, let the word go through the land,
Every tradesman, clerk and peasant should have these two things at hand.

No – no ranting song is needed, and no meeting, flag or fuss –
In the future, still unheeded, shall the spirit come to us!
Without feathers, drum or riot on the day that is to be,
We shall march down, very quiet, to our stations by the sea.
While the bitter parties stifle every voice that warns of war,
Every man should own a rifle and have cartridges in store!

Put yourself on a list????

C'mon already! Man, with the organizations I belong to, the magazines I subscribe to, the letters I've sent to my congress critters, the guns I've bought, and the sites I surf, if I'm not already on a list, them dogs are sleeping on the job.

So since there is a chance that we might be listed as "non-UN lovers" we should just sit by?

What is the point? Do we send feedback to HCI?

I really don't see the point of sending the UN feedback. It would be like sending HCO or CPHV feedback, it would all end up in the garbarge. You want to make difference on the UN, send your congressman/woman a letter instead.

Most assuredly, but in the meantime seems like a good idea to me. In fact why not send HCI and others e-mails and phone calls? Why not swamp their resources? If an organization cropped up asking for a repeal of the entire Bill of Rights, in addition to discussions with your congressman/woman shouldn't the absolute ludicousy and potential damage of the idea be justification for many letters and phone calls to them? Seems to me this is in a similar vein...

The UN

Hey! We are always talking about doing something, writing letters, telling others what we think. Well, now you have the chance. And so what if they know who you are? What are YOU, American, ashame of?

Love that homepage Headline!!!

"WE THE PEOPLES"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonder WHERE that came from?............
How dare they, algae suckers........
Makes you all weepy and teary eyed, doesn't it.
These folks take the cake..........we fund 40% of it, used to be more.
WE house the whole org, and the average salary for an employee is 75K, that's AVERAGE............
How many of you would like to be their AVERAGE....and NOT do ANYTHING......exactly what they do??.( except dream up world domination schemes).
Pure Communism plain and simple.....WE make it, they take it.
