    Congratulations to Celtic Cowboy and his nephew! We can all rejoice in this victory. This could not have happened without the internet to publicize the situation and mobilize support. What better illustration of the power of the internet to stand up to government, bureaucrats and multinational corporations? The internet may save democracy yet....
    "Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament for the Children'...Sad seven times--ah, Patrick MacCrimmon of the seven dead sons....'It's a hard tune, that', said old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.

    Bobs me-thinks you maybe right. Although this is a relatively trivial matter in the sense that nobody was going to die or indeed get even slightly hungry never-the-less oppression starts at the low level.

    The petty bureaucrats and irritants in life have now been warned: up with this we will not put!
    The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
    'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
    He keeps his side arms awful,
    And he leaves them all about,
    Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
