"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Joe meets Huck

'Joe' wildly received on Fox News show

"It actually upsets me," Mr. Wurzelbacher said. "I am a plumber, and just a plumber, and here Barack Obama or John McCain, I mean these guys are going to deal with some serious issues coming up shortly. The media's worried about whether I paid my taxes, they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America. They really don't. I asked a question. When you can't ask a question to your leaders anymore, that gets scary. That bothers me."


It should bother/worry/scare the hell out of everyone. Even those on the left who insist they believe in the freedom of speech, of "speaking truth to power", and fear fascism to the point they see "brown shirts" around every corner. You know, unless they're just full of crap.
