lets declare an amnesty for illegals. after all, it works in the states.

Apparently the American lesson hasn’t been learned here.  Sure thing. First give illegals a break, give them amnesty. Wait a few years and do it all over again because of course your borders will be even more over run. But hey ... declare another amnesty and Bob’s your uncle ...  a lower illegal immigrant statistic.
Heck, it works in the USA. Doesn’t it? Well, it works for one group anyway.

But this is Europe and specifically the UK.
Maybe here, this fellow has a valid point.  ??  And it’s true here as it is in the USA, that the Conservatives are seen pretty much as anti immigrant and especially anti black, brown, purple,blue or any other color that doesn’t match ours.  True or not, that is the perception. 

Grant all illegal immigrants an amnesty, says Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi

One-off gesture designed to make Tories more attractive to ethnic minorities

Illegal immigrants should be given a one-off amnesty allowing them to remain in Britain, in a “seismic” policy shift designed to improve relations between the Conservatives and ethnic minorities, a prominent Tory MP has said.

Nadhim Zahawi’s provocative call will put him at odds with the party’s leadership, which strongly opposes the move, although it has been advocated by the London Mayor, Boris Johnson. Opponents argue that offering an amnesty would make Britain a magnet for immigrants.

But Mr Zahawi, who is tipped as a future minister, insisted the step could boost the economy – and help repair the Tories’ tarnished reputation among minority voters. He said: “We shouldn’t be afraid to think outside of our comfort zone.” At the last election, the Tories picked up just 16 per cent of the black and Asian vote, while more than two-thirds supported Labour. “Our failure to appeal to ethnic minorities should send loud alarm bells ringing in Downing Street and Central Office,” Mr Zahawi said. “Unless we act now this electoral penalty will only get worse.”

Mr Zahawi suggested an amnesty for the estimated 570,000 illegal immigrants would have a dramatic impact on the party’s standing among minority voters. He said it would make financial sense as the vast hidden economy cheats the Treasury out of billions of pounds and undercuts the pay and conditions of low-income workers.

He said recipients should be given leave to remain rather than full citizenship, limiting their entitlement to benefits, and the move should be combined with an overhaul of border controls.

The MP for Stratford-upon-Avon’s call came in an essay for a new think-tank, provisionally called Right Revival, to be launched next month, with the aim of finding ways of reaching out to sections of the electorate hostile to the Tories. Mr Zahawi welcomed moves by the party to open “genuine dialogue” but warned: “Some of the polling makes for such grim reading that you wonder if a more seismic shift in policy is needed to signal our good intentions.”

Gee, I have to confess it seems so odd to read that this guy, who no doubt is a good man and is a conservative and does worry about the Labour vote and does have a good point with regard to them and fear of another Labour government; it just seems so weird to know he represents a place like Stratford-upon-Avon.  Which says more about me than it does about him.  If you’d have said just 50 years ago, that a guy with a name like Nadhim Zahawi would someday represent this core of Englishness, and as a conservative, you’d have been laughed straight into the loony bin.

Bye Bye Jr

Jesse Jr, Jailbird To Be

Remember a few months back when he quit Congress in shame, citing his “mental problems” and how a big federal probe was launched on him? Things must be pretty bad there ...

Sneed has learned a plea deal is now on the table between former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and federal authorities probing allegations of campaign fund misuse.

Sneed is told the plea deal includes Jackson serving time in federal prison.

“Significant jail time is now definitely a part of the deal,” said a top Sneed source close to the probe.

“But I think [Jackson’s wife] Sandi, feels like she was thrown under the bus by her husband, ” now that a separate probe has begun on her, a second source added.

For years, Sandi Jackson was paid nearly $5,000 a month from her husband’s campaign fund through her consulting firm, J. Donatella & Associates. The payments continued, even after Jesse Jackson Jr. checked into a mental health facility last year and — except for a robo-call — did not campaign for the Nov. 6 election, which he won.

There is loads more. Read it all at Sneeds. Hey, I wonder what Blago has to say on this? This guy won an election without even campaigning while he was staying at the extra long sleeves hotel? Amazing. Boy howdy, that’s the Chicago Way for sure.

thoughts from our members

Delving into my inbox, once again. LJB sends this one in ...

Kim Jung Un

Kim Jung Un had NO military experience whatsoever before Daddy made him a four-star general.

This is a snot-nose twerp who has never accomplished anything in his life that would even come close to military leadership:

he hasn’t even so much as led a Cub Scout troop, coached a sports team or commanded a military platoon.

So guess what---next they make him the “beloved leader” of North Korea . Terrific!




Oh, crap! I’m sorry. I just remembered that we did the same thing here in the USA.

We took an arrogant community organizer who has never worn a uniform and made him Commander-in-Chief;

a guy who has never had a real job, worked on a budget or led anything more than an ACORN demonstration, and made him leader of the USA .

[and then when he played golf and screwed the pooch for four solid years, we re-elected him!]

Sorry I brought this up. Never mind.

says hitchens, the tory party is dead, it a corpse ur seeing

This has to be the strongest put down yet of the PM, David Cameron, (referred to here as “Mr. Slippery”) and the Tory (Conservative Party) that I have seen since coming here.  It comes from a very conservative writer named Peter Hitchens.  There are a number of conservatives who while not extreme right, are nevertheless very unhappy about the direction the party has gone.
This will give you some idea of just how difficult things have become.  The country is ruled by the grafting together of the conservative Tories and the liberal lefties called the Liberal Democrats. LibDems for short. The cons could not muster enough votes in the last election, to get themselves elected to govern alone.

There has since been a bi-election, this was a week or two ago, and that’s the ref. he makes for the bad showing by consv.

It’ll be most interesting to see what the future will actually hold, and if Hitchens is correct.  Even more interesting will be what he writes if shown to be wrong.
He has a damn good suggestion however.
Start all over fresh and acknowledge mistakes made.
The problem.
You’d still be dealing with politicians.  Too many of whom are self serving, egotistical, lying, creeps & thieves.

The good ship ‘Tory Party’ is finished - please keep calm and head for the lifeboats

By Peter Hitchens

It is quite clear to any thinking person that the Tory Party is now a corpse. Any idea that David Cameron could or would revive it must have died at the Rotherham by-election.
This astonishing result must surely be the most humiliating treatment of a major political party in modern history.
The ‘Conservative’ candidate came fifth. He was beaten by Labour, which is reasonable. But he was also shoved aside by three other organisations.

The first was UKIP, the Dad’s Army of politics; the second was the BNP, that care home for the incurably stupid and nasty; and the third was George Galloway’s Respect Party.
Their candidate was Yvonne Ridley, a former journalist who converted to Islam after she was held hostage by the Taliban.
I quite like her in a way, but she can hardly be said to be part of the mainstream, especially since she adopted her adventurous version of the hijab.

If I were the candidate of a national party beaten by Yvonne in a by- election, I would go into hiding.

I don’t think this comical failure can be dismissed as a mid-term blip. I think this is the moment at which it became obvious that, in the North of England, where Tory MPs used to abound, people have noticed what many in the South have yet to see.
They have realised Mr Slippery’s Party has decayed so much that the best place for it is the nearest skip.  (a skip is a dumpster) No amount of paint, glue, sparkle or varnish will ever make it look good again.

It has come to stand, in many people’s minds, for concreting over the countryside, unrestrained mass immigration, terrible state schools, being nice to criminals, starting foreign wars in places where we have no business to be, and high taxes.

Of course, there are people who think all these things are wonderful.  But they already have two political parties on their side, and so there’s no earthly point in them voting Tory.
This is what comes of punishing your friends and rewarding your enemies, year after year after year.

In Rotherham, you get fewer votes than Yvonne Ridley and her hijab. You barely get 1,000 votes in the whole of Middlesbrough. And even in Croydon North you get only 16 per cent of the vote. 

Now, I did tell you all this some time ago, when far too many of you were swooning into the arms of Mr Slippery. Well, look what you got for that. He couldn’t win last time, even aided by the wave of hate he created against Gordon Brown.
He certainly can’t win next time. By 2020 Tory candidates in the North will be coming in behind the Monster Raving Loonies.

Face it, the whole thing’s got to go. If the Tory Party ran foreign holidays all its customers would be stranded abroad in unfinished hotels. If the Tory Party were a cruise ship, it would be sinking on a jagged reef because the captain was too busy conducting a gay wedding and not looking where he was going.
If it were any kind of consumer item, people who bought it would take it back and ask for a refund. They wouldn’t get one, of course, just a harsh Australian voice telling them to get knotted.

But because it’s a political party, for some bizarre reason, the more its voters are betrayed, the more they cling to it. The only result of this is that the honest, productive, thrifty, patriotic people of this country have nobody to protect them from their enemies.
Desert the Useless Tories now and for ever. Put them out of their misery. And then build something better before it is too late.

It’s not yet compulsory to vote, and why would you vote for people who despise you?

not quite a new dawn. more like dusk says simon

from a very conservative Simon Heffer, for your consideration.

New dawn? This looks more like a new dusk

By Simon Heffer

The next four years for America look bleak. It’s not so much a new dawn as a new dusk. And with 50 months left in power, President Obama, his hands tied by a Republican-controlled House of Representatives, is a lame duck already.

He was re-elected despite a majority of voters thinking the economy is on the wrong track. And with tax rises that could wreck recovery due on January 1 – the so-called ‘fiscal cliff’ – experts fear a recession here in 2013.

The most sensible policy – which a Romney administration would have pursued – is deficit reduction. Instead, the second Obama term will increase the deficit, further diminishing America’s economic power and credibility.

Around $1trillion a year will be added to debt – bringing the total to $20trillion by 2016. This will drive up interest rates on US bonds, and hard-pressed Americans will have to pay more taxes to fund higher interest payments.

Meanwhile, the President is determined to push through his ‘Obamacare’ health insurance policy, which would account for a large part of that increase.

But the Democrats are well aware that the pumping of federal money into corporate bail-outs and infrastructure projects in declining regions is the key to creating a state clientele that keeps voting them back into office.

The administration is already devising stealth taxes to help pay for the bribes it wishes to offer the coalition of minorities that comprise its supporters. Some will corrode the core of American self-reliance, such as taxes on any substantial capital gains made from house sales. Others are simply opportunist, such as a tax on tanning salons.

These are all measures of how desperate the financial situation is – a reality apparently kept from most of the American electorate, so far.

Washington observers speak of the incompetence of the Obama administration – not just its ability to waste money, but also to target funds so badly. There is very little to show for the $787billion fiscal stimulus of 2009. A fraction of it could have been used to create serious sea defences around New York and New Jersey, to avoid the devastation of last week’s storm, for example.

Swingeing taxes that fall disproportionately on wealth-creators and entrepreneurs will not be all that stalls an economic recovery. So too will a failing national infrastructure whose state of disrepair is beyond pork-barrel handouts from Washington to local communities, but requires a big federal programme – and big federal money.

Roads, rail and airports all cry out for investment and improvement. But as long as money is thrown at failing industries – such as in the car industry bail-out that helped Mr Obama win Ohio and Michigan this week – the administration cannot afford to take big strategic decisions such as these.

a brit view of the election lost. a worthy read.

There are a couple of people I follow and like a lot over here and no surprise they are conservatives. One of them is named Richard Littlejohn, and I am sharing his comments with you here.  I have not included everything he wrote. I have included a few comments from ppl who do not like him, or Republicans or too many Americans unless they favors the left. Cos that is where these idiots live. On the left. Always. Just want you to see this for yourselves. 

Forget ‘hope and change’- this was a victory for fear and loathing
By Richard Littlejohn
Mitt Romney was right about one thing. He was secretly taped back in May telling fund-raisers that half the country would support Barack Obama because they depend on the government for all or part of their income.
Romney correctly identified America’s burgeoning entitlement culture as a major obstacle to a Republican winning back the White House.
‘There are 47 per cent of the people who will vote for the President no matter what, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe they are entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing, to you name it.’
Striking an almost defeatist note, he concluded: ‘I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their own lives.’
Romney’s leaked remarks caused a predictable storm of confected outrage, but his analysis was bang on the money. Just as Gordon Brown cynically constructed a client state in Britain to maximise Labour’s electoral advantage, so the Democrats deliberately drain the public purse to feed their supporters’ insatiable appetite for handouts.
When 47 per cent of the electorate depends to a greater or lesser degree on government largesse, the Democrats have only to target another four or five per cent of voters to secure a Striking an almost defeatist note, he concluded: ‘I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their own lives.’
Obama’s campaign this time was based on fear and loathing.
Romney was portrayed as a ruthless predatory capitalist, hell-bent on grinding ordinary Americans into the dust, sending their jobs abroad and denying them even rudimentary healthcare provision.
One advert showed Romney pushing an old lady in a wheelchair over a cliff. Another even accused him of causing a former employee’s wife to die of cancer. It was garbage, but it was effective.

With minorities flocking to Obama and America’s demographics shifting, can a middle-aged white man ever get elected again?

Meanwhile, the devastation visited upon parts of the North East remains every bit as awful as Katrina inflicted on New Orleans in 2005, and the clean-up just as patchy and poorly co-ordinated.
With minorities flocking to Obama and America’s demographics shifting, can a middle-aged white man ever get elected again?
(Mind you, Obama’s campaign featured so many white, middle-aged male celebrities that some of his rallies looked like TV adverts for erectile dysfunction medication.)
Obama’s victory wasn’t entirely down to minority support, though. The swing states which took him over the line are predominantly white, which suggests whites are equally comfortable with the idea of sucking on the government teat.

The worry is that the drift from a dynamic ‘can-do’ nation to a dependent ‘something for nothing’ society continues to stifle economic recovery. The world needs America’s red-in-tooth-and-claw capitalism to fuel global growth.
What’s of equal concern is that under Obama, as in Britain, rampant hostility to private enterprise and ‘the rich’ has flourished.
That probably cost Romney the presidency.
my money is on the Republican candidate in 2016 being Cuban-American senator Marco Rubio.
I watched Rubio electrify a Tea Party rally in Florida 18 months ago. He’s the most impressive young politician on either side of the Atlantic.
He could win and win big. But only if enough of his fellow Americans are prepared to start asking what they can do for their country, not what their country can do for them.

And below are a few examples of the typical response to this article.
The left is very much alive here. Sadly.

You are speaking out your bottom, Littlejohn. 47% of the population voted against Romney because they didn’t want to be crushed under the boot of rich men who would rather see them destitute, homeless or even dead in order to protect their wealth.  - ShadyAidy, Kimberley, 8/11/2012 0:32

y..a..w..n....The President of the United States is probably swivelling in HIS Oval office and some irrelevant non-entities are desperately frothing in the mouth. What a laugh. *where’s the pop corn? - Chinedu, London, United Kingdom, 8/11/2012 0:34

What a load of rubbish. U.S.A. is a two party state that elects its President by dint of how much money is spent on campaigning. Some D.M. journalists seem to forget that the world has moved on from the dark Victorian era and we now, the western world, live as socialist countrys. - Scargil, Cha Am, 8/11/2012 0:29

And those are just three of hundreds, not all but mostly in like manner. It does tend to piss one off big time.  Worse however are the posters who seem to believe they are experts on things American, having of course read all the lefty training manuals. It’s sort of like jumping on a bandwagon as well.  Bashing America is the done thing. Gotta be real cool ya know. And there’s nothin’ cooler then spouting off about America, even if you’ve never lived there. Heck, they even pick at us for what we call football. Any excuse will do.
Screw the bastards! Wish I could think of something with more wit, but I lack that ability.

It’s Real And It’s Fantastic

THE POST’S ENDORSEMENTS

FOR PRESIDENT: MITT ROMNEY

There is essentially just one issue in this race: jobs — and President Obama’s failure to produce them. Romney’s background as a successful businessman will bring the leadership America needs to ignite the economy and confront dire challenges abroad.

read the rest, not that there’s much there

the only true American patriot in this race.

found this interesting comment at the Mail.

Worth sharing.  Not an American by the looks of it. Don’t know how he knows all this but apparently he does.

The first American home of Herbert Marcuse and his Frankfurt School was Columbia University. Obama graduated from Columbia University. You have already had a Gramsci/Cultural Marxist for four years as President and now half of you actually want this fifth-columnist back in to play out the end-game of fifty years of Stealth Communism? I have never subscribed to the “stupid Americans” jibe but if you return Obama you will truly rue the day. I desperately hope that sense prevails and you elect the only true American patriot in this race - Mitt Romney..

WAITING FOR AMERICA …. today will tell if enough ppl have woken up

The photo scan below is of our morning paper yesterday, and is only one half of the entire center spread.

IT’S EARLY HOURS AT THE MOMENT IN SOME PLACES.  IT’S MY HOPE THAT BY LEAVING THIS UP AND RUNNING FOR AWHILE, SOME OF YOU WILL SHARE IT WITH OTHERS WHO WON’T HAVE SEEN IT AND WOULD NOT BE AWARE OF IT. THANK YOU.

When Mr Obama promised ‘change’ in 2008, what it turned out he meant was redistribution of income to the have-nots by milking the success of the haves.

By Simon Heffer
The Mail

America has an enviable choice when it goes to the polls tomorrow. The contest between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney isn’t just between a Democrat and a Republican: It is between two entirely different visions of the future of the world’s greatest power.

The choice is stark. It is between continuing a journey towards European-style statism and welfarism, which is what Obama is offering if he is re-elected, or reducing the size of the state and encouraging enterprise and individual responsibility, which is at the core of Mr Romney’s programme.

It is also a choice between more social liberalism – such as homosexual marriage – or reverting to a conservatism rooted in Christianity and traditional family values.

This experiment in socialism and welfarism has brought him severe criticism, because it has done nothing to boost employment, growth or stability. The failure of this experiment – in a country that became great on the back of individualism and enterprise – has deeply motivated the Republicans.

Any British politician who voiced the right-wing opinions of someone like the 1940s and 1950s novelist Ayn Rand (who inspired Mr Ryan and who observed that ‘the difference between a welfare state and a totalitarian state is a matter of time’) would be hounded out of public life.

The Democrats have sought to do this to Mr Ryan, but his ideas of wealth creation and individualism have millions of supporters still in America.
Those are the people he and Mr Romney are urging to turn out to vote tomorrow.

Because of the clear alternatives, it is one of the most crucial elections in America’s history.

If only we, in Britain, could hope for such a dramatic choice when we next go to the polls.

politics usa ….

This is just a small portion of an article I found at The Wall St. Journal.

I used to read the hard copy version some time ago.  Don’t know what brought me to them tonight, but I stumbled on more than looked for this subject. Started reading and found it hard to stop, and so I thought some of you may find it of interest as well.

Personally, even without the author of this piece (Michael J. Totten) pointing this out to me, I got the feeling that both Romney and Obama were being, well, can I say delusional?
Romney thinks we would ever be in any position to do what he suggests?  Oh come on.  Does he drink or smoke things he shouldn’t?  No?  Then he should know better.

As for Obama, well I think everything that could be said has been said already but I’ll add this. He is not just delusional if he really believes what he is quoted as here.  He has slanted things and twisted them out of all truthful shape.  Even when I got no further than his line about attitudes about Americans changing, I knew at that point the man is full of beans.  Unless perhaps and it is always possible, that ONE person changed his mind about America and so Obama took that as meaning all of them did.  Stupid.  He says we “stood with them” but in fact I took all that guff he was spouting at the time as, sucking up to islamists.

So enough of what I think.  I posted this for the readership, here’s a part and catch the link for all of it.

WSJ for more

Mr. Romney said it first, early in the debate: “We’re going to have to put in place a very comprehensive and robust strategy to help the world of Islam . . . reject this violent extremism.” Later Mr. Obama spoke as though this objective is already on its way to being accomplished: “When Tunisians began to protest,” he said, “this nation, me, my administration, stood with them earlier than just about any other country. In Egypt, we stood on the side of democracy. In Libya, we stood on the side of the people. And as a consequence, there is no doubt that attitudes about Americans have changed.”

The Middle East desperately needs economic development, better education, the rule of law and gender equality, as Mr. Romney says. And Mr. Obama was right to take the side of citizens against dictators—especially in Libya, where Moammar Gadhafi ran one of the most thoroughly repressive police states in the world, and in Syria, where Bashar Assad has turned the country he inherited into a prison spattered with blood. But both presidential candidates are kidding themselves if they think anti-Americanism and the appeal of radical Islam will vanish any time soon.

First, it’s simply not true that attitudes toward Americans have changed in the region. I’ve spent a lot of time in Tunisia and Egypt, both before and after the revolutions, and have yet to meet or interview a single person whose opinion of Americans has changed an iota.

Second, pace Mr. Romney, promoting better education, the rule of law and gender equality won’t reduce the appeal of radical Islam. Egyptians voted for Islamist parties by a two-to-one margin. Two-thirds of those votes went to the Muslim Brotherhood, and the other third went to the totalitarian Salafists, the ideological brethren of Osama bin Laden. These people are not even remotely interested in the rule of law, better education or gender equality. They want Islamic law, Islamic education and gender apartheid. They will resist Mr. Romney’s pressure for a more liberal alternative and denounce him as a meddling imperialist just for bringing it up.

Anti-Americanism has been a default political position in the Arab world for decades. Radical Islam is the principal vehicle through which it’s expressed at the moment, but anti-Americanism specifically, and anti-Western “imperialism” generally, likewise lie at the molten core of secular Arab nationalism of every variety. The Islamists hate the U.S. because it’s liberal and decadent. (The riots in September over a ludicrous Internet video ought to make that abundantly clear.) And both Islamists and secularists hate the U.S. because it’s a superpower.

And Again They Face Off

Debate 2

It felt like I was at a playground fight and a debate broke out by accident.

“Pettysburg” Chris Muir labels it in today’s Day By Day cartoon when the young leftist character gushes how much Obama in this debate reminds her of Lincoln.  It beats the heck out of me how the left draws any similarity between old Abe and young Barack. I don’t think they have a thing in common.

So, how did the candidates fare this time around? Hard for me to say, but ...

* Romney kept his cool and stayed professional. While Obama did manage to NOT do the grinning-derisive-jackass Biden face, he sat on the edge of his seat with his little smirk waiting for a chance to be irritating and to throw more lies around. At heart he is a rabble rouser. Still the community organizer who plays really fast and loose with the facts. Ex Post Facto, whoever wins this one in the Fact Check sweepstakes had better make major hay with it; I couldn’t count how many times each guy flat out told the other one he was lying out his ass. SOMEBODY sure was messing with the truth last night.

* CNN’s moderator Candy Crowley got in the way. What, did she think this was her show or something? I think she clearly had a bias in favor of Obama. Both candidates did run right over her several times though.

* Obama was the clear loser on the body language part. He could not look Romney in the eye. He could not stand toe to toe with him. He kept looking away, turning his back, pretending that he couldn’t hear the questions he wasn’t going to answer and so on. Holy cow, if you can’t go all WWF or NBA trash talkin face to face with a used car salesman opponent, how are you going to stand up against the psycho North Koreans or some evil greasy mullahs?

* The hypocrisy of Obama is pretty amazing. He tells the biggest lies with not just a straight face but with a “Who, me? Why are you accusing poor little me?” wrapper. How dare you say that in the wake of the Benghazi attack, which I secretly knew at the moment it happened was a terrorist attack, that I blithely went off to Las Vegas to raise funds, not caring a whit that my ambassador was being raped and murdered! That’s not how we do things!! ... and of course, that’s exactly, EXACTLY what he did. There were a number of these puke inducing statements, bullshit drops of galactic caliber. I couldn’t make it to the end of the debate because of it. I got as far as the Libya part, where Crowley had her one shining moment and told Obama that he did indeed misstate something or other. Then I turned it off and walked away.

* I want Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh or even Newt Gingrigh to moderate the next debate. Why is it that the left gets to supply the moderator for every single one of these things, every single time? Their bias is sometimes highly apparent. Doesn’t the Right ever get a turn??

* Horry clap, Romney has wookie paws. Great big hairy patches between the joints. Manscape!!

What else? I dunno. Still on my first coffee. Then I’ve got another window job up the street, so I won’t have much time to update this until much later. Add your own thoughts, comments, observations. Thanks.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
