“I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.” - Frederick Douglass
I heard someone refer to a "tea party rose" a few weeks ago, and this image sprang to mind. I nicked someone's yelow rose photo and created a new, ... improved image. :-)
Prune that government and stick to that Constitution Manual ... thingy!
I've seen these kind of flowers all over where I live. They grow best when left alone, because they nourish themselves rather than depending on a master gardener to tell them where to grow, how tall to grow, how many blooms they're allowed, etc., etc. ...
Are they like that other thing that occasionally has to be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants? The "tree of liberty" that Jefferson spoke of?
A rose by any other name...
ReplyDeleteI hear their hard to grow though. They must pruned back every couple years, given proper nourishment and be grown strictly according to the manual.
Heh.
