"If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other." - Carl Schurz

"The saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while yet there was time." - George Sutherland
"Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe." - Edmund Burke

Naming the country

Now that the United States of America is gone, what should we name the new country?

I think Dubyastan has a nice ring to it. My roommate thinks Bushistan is more to the point. The problem with that, I think, is that there is still at least one person with the name of Bush that is worthy of respect, though she's not a relation. I wouldn't want people to begin to associate her with the name of a dictatorship.

I vote for Dumbfuckistan. You know, it's the country that removed Benjamin Franklin from the history books cause all them damned quote of his were causing (as Garrison Keillor calls him) the Current Occupant.
