Mark twain

"We have pacified some thousands of the islanders and buried them; destroyed their fields; burned their villages, and turned their widows and orphans out-of-doors; furnished heartbreak by exile to some dozens of disagreeable patriots; subjugated the remaining 10 millions by Benevolent Assimilation, which is the pious new name of the musket. And so, by these Providences of God -- and the phrase is the government's, not mine -- we are a World Power.”

I didn't even know you had this blog to comment on in the first place but I'm so happy you do! I like how we both have Dylan quotes for our headline. But why isn't Fawnedango in your title?
