The Republican defenders of Freedom may well (and ironically) endorse "coercive confinement" for dissenters. Isn't it sad that "The Disappeared" may be a new aspect of life for those living in the Land of the Free?
In "The Prisoner of Chillon," Lord Byron wrote:
"I learn'd to love despair.
And thus when they appear'd at last,
And all my bond aside were cast,
These heavy walls to me had grown
A hermitage - and all my own!
And half I felt as they were come
To tear me from a second home"
Now, the disk jockey will play Johnny Paycheck's "11 Months and 29 Days," the Kingston Trio's "Everglades" and the thought of getting out of jail necessitates that the DJ also play David Allen Coe's "You Don't Have to Call Me "Darlin',' Darlin'." It's time for us to go out for a breath of fresh air. Have a "Stay down, Luke!" type week.
