7. It's America: Who plays a better warrior than Russel Crowe? Remember the pentultimate scene of Master and Commander, when he is giving his crew their final briefing before the ship's battle with the larger and faster French ship they had been stalking. After walking through each man's role in the coming fight he reminds them all of that for which they fight, bleed and possibly die: it's England. They fight for England. And the ship, he tells them, IS England--wherever they may find themselves on the far side of the world. Like all warriors the Captain's job is to Close With And Destroy The Enemy. It is irrelevant to the Warrior that the Enemy is bigger, faster and more numerous. His job is to hunt the Enemy down and lay him to waste. Having gathered in the Gloom this AM and shared the daily DownPainment with the Faithful, are we not recharged with the fortitude necessary to close with and destroy the dragons stalking Trade and Tryon, the far side of the world or wherever we may find ourselves this day? Aye! It's America. We fight for America.
