That, and I am sure most everyone would like to see Nikki get a good old fashioned curb stomping… am I right or am I right? A cause well worth my hard earned dollars if ever there was one. 8-p

Five bucks, ten, fifteen, twenty – can’t be too much for your wallet to handle. Jon has shown his honesty and integrity over numerous years of service to those who come to this site for invaluable information and to sample the offsetting opinions and insights of many knowledgeable and highly intelligent people, as well as those banal attempts by empty-headed trolls to try to sound educated; then, too, there are those who just like to throw fecal matter into the vortex, who sometimes (rarely, but with some degree of regularity) provide divergent and unexpected entertainment.

When asked to contribute to this very worthwhile cause, no one is asking for hundreds or thousands of dollars (unless you can afford it, that is); but in the spirit of communal assistance for worthy causes, everyone should chip in a few bucks here and there. Like singular, individual votes in an election, the cumulative effect can have overwhelming results and help preserve those rights and liberties that free men have come to depend on and to cherish more than they realize until the threat is uncomfortably too close.

A small contribution to this defense fund is like the power of suffrage – everyone gets one and only vote – but what a flood can be created with an appropriate response! Next time you’re out on the town, have one cocktail less and tip your glass in a salute to Jon, then on the afternoon of the morning after, send a few bucks to his defense fund. It is less painful than it sounds!

And in the long run it will have the effect of letting “them” know that you count! It will tell them that they cannot ride roughshod over people dedicated to the eradication of their venal aims and motivations. It will force them to realize that those who line their pockets are not as effective as they represent themselves to be; that the ones who matter most are not those sitting at the $1,500-a-plate dinner, but the dedicated minority who will not stand idly by while special interests try to exercise control over what should and must continue to be the purview of the average citizen.

I am reminded of a line from Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles” where Travis (Chill Wills) tells Mr. Hedly Lamar (Harvey Corman) that he uses his tongue prettier than a French whore! Speak out! Blend your voice with the growing chorus willing to make even a small contribution to the betterment of society.

This cause is not some frivolous attempt to generate wealth for a dedicated web-site host and administrator – it is germane to the very rights of man, which stand in peril.

Think out it! Then do something about it.

High praise and laudatory exclamations for Jon!
