We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

Too bad.  I want to get some reactions before I reveal the answer.

Yeah, there's nothing remarkable about it...except that it was drawn in Scotland in the 1980s.

You can click the link in my last comment and read about it, at least.

ETA:  I don't claim that it has any special significance.  I just saw the article and thought it was interesting.

For whatever reason, the smartphone version of simplemachines doesn't display posted links. All I can do is read and post. It doesn't even let me edit my posts. Very bare-bones, but at least it loads quickly.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Its creator Willie Gardner died on November 27 last year at the age of 78, making it impossible to know exactly what inspired him.

The art is not all that great, but the image is uncanny.

I believe in spiritually inspired premonition, or what the bible calls prophecy.

The World Trade Center was the face of American Supremacy in the World. Islam has always hated it, and was able to knock them down. Why we didn't build them back, bigger and stronger than before, I'll never know!

Agreed.  I often argued rebuilding with an even bigger tower...if it had the appearance of giving the rest of the world the finger...so much the better!
