Butte MT Vietnam MIA finally home
« on: July 22, 2017, 06:26:12 am »
I was driving through Butte this afternoon about 5:00 pm after hitting Belgrade (70 miles from Butte) began seeing flags and groups of people at every overpass. Didn't know what was going on, stopped in Butte for gas and there were cop cars and fire trucks all over the place. There were probably  more than 1000 people lining the street waving flags and waiting ..... pretty cool.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
