it, if they can fake it for $20, imagine what Hillary can do for
what she has at stake.
She is quite the little "actress", isn't she? Say, did you hear
about how she really whacked Billy Boy up side the head recently?
G.Gordon Liddy said Bill was wearing some heavy makeup because she
blackened his eye. I can't stand to look at him close enough to check
if he was wearing makeup or not. I wonder if anyone with a strong

Write your reply.

assistant: To merely obey when confronted with unjust laws is to defy not
only long standing traditions of a free people, but to act in defiance
of reason itself.  If one sees clearly that no "perhaps" exists, that
injustice is being imposed upon others, and that the principles of
liberty are being compromised for expedient ends, what service does a
man do to himself or his society by obeying such laws?
      It is not those who cower in the face of injustice and yield to
order that advance our civilization or preserve or liberties.  It is
those who are unwilling to accept injustices and challange the
established order in the name of liberty.
      I do not advocate any man obey an unjust law. We are beings of
reason and must use that reason when wrongs are being committed.

Write your reply.

assistant: The story of Goliad has never attracted the attention that the
story of the Alamo has despite twice as many Texians having died as a
result.   I suppose the idea of surrender somehow detracts from what
took place in the minds of the uninformed, but Fannin's force was, in
many ways, as gallant as the defenders of the Alamo themselves.
       He and his 400 men engaged General Cos and a force of over 3,000
in an open prarrie and despite being surrounded completely, they fought
until they had no ammunition left.  Surrender, at that point, appeared
the only course left.
       Despite a pledge by Cos that the prisoners would be treated with
honor, given safe passage to New Orleans in exchange for a pledge not
to return to Texas, and treated fairly, the Mexicans marched all 400
men out into a field and executed them in mass.  Only about 6 managed
to escape into the brush and survive to tell the story.
       At the time, Goliad, more than the Alamo itself, incited those
few remaining to defend the emerging Republic to fight with a ferocity
we cannot imagine today.
