Warnings
I was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I ran, in the wind, until I was 10. I traveled all over Cheyenne, because I was safe to – and I wasn’t afraid. Of course, that was a whole different world than this one is, but I am still NOT afraid!
I was born there, raised there, loved there, by my parents. Occasionally, even my siblings loved me, but it was all good. It didn’t matter – because I was, and am… free.
And someday, I’ll go ‘home’ to Wyoming. Home to the wind of the high plains. And I will stand, there, free. Again. Still.
When I was in college, an artist named me ‘frontier woman’. I was young, then, but I still smiled.
Damn straight. I suppose a person can actually scare a frontier woman. But probably, if you try to scare her, you’ll just piss her off….
Which is NOT a real good idea.
The al-Qaida has ‘issued’ a warning.
To America.
"The threat suggests the attack will be far greater in magnitude than Sept. 11, 2001, because following this one, 'there will be no one to analyze and investigate, because the mind and the heart will be unable to comprehend it. ... This will not be a single operation, but two; one bigger than the other, but we will begin with the big one and postpone the bigger one, in order to see [how] diligent the American people is [in preserving] its life. If it chooses life, [it must] carry out the demands of the Muslims, and if it chooses death, then we are its best perpetrators.'"
Ya think?
Nahhh!
This mind, this heart, comprehends threats. You really don’t want to come here, to my land, but if you do come here, or you are already here, then come here, sweetie. I will slap you. You hurt any more of my people, you will wish you hadn’t. And you will LIVE, too. No virgins for you!
Muslims are part of the People of the Book. You are NOT Muslim! You are just….. purple. And you get to be purple!!!! If you insist on it. But I will fight you.
This isn’t about Muslims, it’s about freedom. And choices! The people of America will preserve life. Even yours.
But don’t threaten me, sweetheart.
It tends to piss me off.
