They hadn’t come for anyone yet–well, maybe for Welfy… Then you had to go and say this and get 'em all riled up!

…all of whom did nothing for you weren’t one of them.  
Something else to think about those who are poised to attack: by attacking you label yourselves an oppressive regime doling out censorship and enforcing opinion on others. What’s next then? Burning books? _gasp_ What would Uncle Cecil say?

The fight against ignorance or the fight against other’s tastes… It’s your call.  
(and sorry sister welfy - but you’re always welcome. It’s never too late to turn from the dark side)

dpr,  
For crying out loud!! Stop talking, pick up a ‘pointy stick’ and start kicking some ass!! We have tried to reason with them. It is no use. Like WWII Japan, there is only one way to convince them, mass casualties!!!  
Get the other rebels together! It is time for some serious action!!!

Just giving them a last chance bear. I’m an idealist and don’t believe in fighting especially the poor misguided.

But you might want to ensure our X-99 is on the ground in a few minutes…

Um, which side is supposed to emulate Japan?

Just checking…

Hey, **JBurton** , do you think we could grab a couple of the ladies and take the navy out for a spin later? I mean, the war will still be here when we get back.

Troops, stand firm. This will be our finest hour. We have nothing to fear but grossly inadequate and trite music contaminating our lives for all of eternity.

The submarines have now left Kings Bay and are quietly amassing off the coast of Idiot Teenybopper Island. The Kennedy, due in today, has been diverted. We offered them the choice of going home or fighting this, the greatest threat to humanity since New Kids on the Block, and all of them, to the last, vowed to stay at sea for however long it takes.

Take heart, brave warriors!! Truth, justice, and real music shall prevail!!

Oh, and one more thing…

My troops have been instructed to subject all deserters and collaborators to endless video replaying of said targets’ “music”, _A Clockwork Orange_ style.
