"[The people] are in truth the only legitimate proprietors of the soil and government." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1813. ME 19:197

"[It is] the people, to whom all authority belongs." --Thomas Jefferson to Spencer Roane, 1821. ME 15:328

Can we do something now? Will you not shoot me down from the bell tower if I climb up and yell down for you to take up arms and DO something about the nation we live in? Don't just elect another pawn. Don't just elect another person who says he will be different.

Fuck this election crap. To paraphrase 4chan: can it be new government time now pls?

Jefferson on my Mind

Take a moment to read these words by one of our founding fathers.

"If ever there was a holy war, it was that which saved our liberties and gave us independence." --Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1813. ME 13:430

"The oppressed should rebel, and they will continue to rebel and raise disturbance until their civil rights are fully restored to them and all partial distinctions, exclusions and incapacitations are removed." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Religion, 1776. Papers 1:548

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing [a people] to slavery." --Thomas Jefferson: Rights of British America, 1774. (*) ME 1:193, Papers 1:125

"A single good government becomes... a blessing to the whole earth, its welcome to the oppressed restraining within certain limits the measure of their oppressions. But should even this be counteracted by violence on the right of expatriation, the other branch of our example then presents itself for imitation: to rise on their rulers and do as we have done." --Thomas Jefferson to George Flower, 1817. ME 15:141

I say nothing about why I am posting these. But not a day goes by as of late that I do not think that the poor man Thomas Jefferson is spinning in his grave and wishing he still had fingers left with which to grasp a pen.

Oryctolagus catus

I would like to describe for you a second known species in the genus Oryctolagus, the European rabbit.

This species is unique from the only accepted species in the genus as it has a number of very different traits which mimic those of a domestic feline. Its face is more cat like, with slit pupils in the eyes, with a longer more pronounced muzzle and more pointed less obviously rabbit like teeth. The paws are cat like, but with distinct, non retracting rabbit like claws and pads more closely resembling that of a housecat. Its vocalization is a mix of rabbit like squeaks and churls as well as a distinct meow like call, as well as a puring sound that is not the common rabbit purr of tooth grinding. Fur comes in a range of colors, usually dark gray with fluff around the face and chest that is a lighter gray, though colors have been reported from brown to black to white to piebald. The diet is nearly exclusively carrots, supplemented with any sugar or caffeine. It is hypothesized that this is to maintain its very high energy and activity level.


...yes, I have just provided a species description of a cabbit.
