Ferrari Mailing List: Re: it's time for the torches... You Bring the Tar and I'll bring the feathers

[LarryT (l02turner]

I especially like the part about the blood of tyrants -  whatever happened 
to that whimsical tradition of putting politicians (and tax collectors) on 
rails after tar and feathering them for a quick ride out of town?

Sometimes the oldways are the best ways --

Nothing like a good revolution once in a while to clear the air.  Every 250 
years or so ought to  be about right -
