Skyler
Today is 6 May 2006.
The Museum of the Bourgeois is honoured to present our compliments: "Happy Birthday, Skyler."
Sharing this day:
1758 - Great French revolutionary Maximillien (The Rights of Man) Robespierre is born.
1856 - Sigmund Freud is born.
1862 - Henry David Thoreau dies.
1915 - Orson Welles born.
Hope change comes, and Skyler never has to face the dilemma of Thoreau.
As Thoreau wrote in Civil Disobedience, regarding his imprisonment for refusing to pay taxes which would have supported the illegal United States Empire war against Mexico, back in the mid-19th century day:
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man
is in prison.
Word. Word up.

What a splendid birthday greeting, HH!
To have one's natal day mentioned in Museum of the Bourgeois is a high compliment indeed! This young man will be surprised, and more than a little tickled, to see this!
Thank you for the birthday wish. I don't think I'd like to pay taxes for an illegal war either, like the war in Iraq, for instance. I would rather stand up for what's right like Mr. Thoreau.
