You can leave the corpse for all to see and nobody calls the cops. (Quote by - Paul Brooks)

All European tradition, Marxism included, has conspired to defy the natural order of all things. Mother Earth has been abused, the powers have been abused, and this cannot go on forever.

That's revolution. (Quote by - Russell Means)
