My kind of loyalty is loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its office-holders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, to care for and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease and death. To be loyal to rags, to shout for rags, to worship rags, to die for rags - that is a loyalty of unreason, [it is pure animal; it belongs to monarchy, was invented by monarchy; let monarchy keep it.]
Howard Zinn quoting Mark Twain
He obviously voted for Change. Treasonous Change.
A thousand points of light. Stay the course.
