Give me liberty, or ... err, what was the question again?

Then and now:

1775, Patrick Henry: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"

2006, Joe American: "Give me liberty, but first give me 10c/gallon gasoline, an SUV in every driveway, and perfect safety for myself and my children, and oh, eternal life too -- forget that 'death' crap!'

Devolution in action...

    I'm listening to Devo 2.0 after downloading it from my favorite legal music site RussionMafiaMusic.com. I usually don't like these pre-teen cover bands, but Devo's mission was always to make their music as souless as possible. Devo 2.0 really is a step up in that reguard.
