One of my favorite Dillard's quotes. Mitch Jayne wrote a couple of books, "Home Grown Stories & Home Fried Lies" was excellent, highly recommended. corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus

Me too.
A reading of the Triox MSDS shows its active ingredients to be a combination of glyphosate (roundup) and imazapyr. What I suggested is a quick and dirty way of creating an Agent Orange-like herbicide. Apply it directly to the leaves of the vine. Those gray sponge paintbrushes work well. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
W'all believe that's the perdiest thing ah ever herd.

Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i This song is by a guy also famous for singing over the rainbow. It's one of the big dude's best: Hawaii '78. is a song about losing the land of ones forefathers to modernity and foreign invaders. I suggest listening to it with an open heart, recognizing that our own land is sacred and we too are losing our lands to globalism the very empire that was built in our own name. Our ancestors used to be sacred. May they be so again. In this way, Hawaiians like Israel Kamakawiwo'ole know much better than we what we ourselves are losing. Like poor Hawaiians, many around us don't recognize the changes. They don't see the invaders and the cruel masters who bring them here. But our forebears would have us notice. And they would have us fight it.

My vote in the above mentioned category goes to the old Joe Walsh album, The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get. And he's one musician who could always back that up, too. I read the lyrics, Deasy. It's sad, but he did mention all the islands his king conquered, so I ain't feeling too bad. That's some prime realestate they were sitting on, but it's only yours for as long as you can hold onto it.
Bruddah Iz passed several years prior to my moving to Oahu. Some of the locals turned me on to his work. They held him in very high regard. Isn't Rocky Mountain Way from that album? I've always figured this was an anthem against the new liberal politics that came out of the hippies moving their "socialist revolution" into government.
He set a high standard for ethnic nationalism. Full of love for his people, never hating others, but ready to defend what had been in his heritage in the best way he knew.
I heard an interview where Joe was asked that question. He replied, "No. That's John Denver's song". He then went on to perform a live version of Rocky Mountain Way. Edited before I saw your correction, thanks.
his voice is beautiful in that song...
To question is to value the ideal of truth more highly than the loyalties to nation, religion, race, or ideology.
That's exactly what he's telling us: don't you feel that our government no longer represents us? Then is this still our country? Or are we on a reservation now?
In the system they have in place now, we're all considered assets, with a set value as potential tax revenue generators that this system uses to determine this country's international credit value. That's how this system looks at us. That's also one of the reasons they're allowing illegals to flood this country. To the PTBs, it doesn't matter how we see ourselves. I get the gist of the song. The dude's pining for the days of old, the same way a lot of old posters here do. Thing is, you have to learn to roll with the punches and either adapt or get left in the dust.
Adapting to eradication means being eradicated.
We can learn much about real nationalism from others, since we have been stripped of ours. It's time to rebuild the ethos. (From M-W: the distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution.)
Adaption means either get with the program or spend your days in the slums the way They've done native americans and pacific islanders. (among others) Some are smart enough to see the writing on the wall, some are too bullheaded to adapt and some (nigs) are just too stupid to get it.
Resurrected a pair of Jehovah's Witnesses who were buried nearby!

youtu.be/5ZOAiSP1MGs - "Hawaii '78" by Israel Kamakawio'ole
Being perpetuated (is) the sovereignty of the land to righteousness/ to balance, Hawai`i
Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i
If just for a day our king and queen
Would visit all these islands and saw everything
How would they feel about the changes of our land
Could you just imagine if they were around
And saw highways on their sacred grounds
How would they feel about this modern city life?
Tears would come from each other's eyes
As they would stop to realize
That our people are in great, great danger now
How would they feel?
Would their smiles be content, then cry
Chorus:
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the land that was taken away
And then yet you'll find, Hawai'i.
Could you just imagine they came back
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks
How would they feel about this modern city life
Tears would come from each other's eyes
As they would stop to realize
That our land is in great, great danger now.
All the fighting that the King has done
To conquer all these islands, now these condominiums
How would he feel if he saw Hawai'i nei?
How would he feel? Would his smile be content, then cry?
(E hana hou i ka hui)
(Repeat chorus)
Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i
Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i.

I'm not really talking about the Pacific Islanders and how they failed to cope with British and American invaders. I'm talking about how European Americans are failing to cope with our own invaders. We're being overrun, as in any traditional invasion. The gates to our "shining city on a hill" as Reagan called it, were opened out of hubris. Adaption means either get with the program or spend your days in the slums

16 years old when I went to war,
To fight for a land fit for heroes,
God on my side, and a gun in my hand,
Chasing my days down to zero,
And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died,
And I never did get any older,
But I knew at the time that a year in the line,
Is a long enough life for a soldier,
We all volunteered, and we wrote down our names,
And we added two years to our ages,
Eager for life and ahead of the game,
Ready for history's pages,
And we brawled and we fought and we whored 'til we stood,
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder,
A thirst for the Hun, we were food for the gun,
And that's what you are when you're soldiers,
I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees,
Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother,
And I fell by his side, and that's how we died,
Clinging like kids to each other, And I lay in the mud and the guts and the blood, And I wept as his body grew colder, And I called for my mother and she never came, Though it wasn't my fault and I wasn't to blame, The day not half over and ten thousand slain, And now there's nobody remembers our names, And that's how it is for a soldier.

It is the most beautiful rendition that I've ever heard. (Why didn't he mix in the occasional salad?)
