I am so equal that nobody can better me

Michael Thompson · Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2007 9:56 pm Post subject:

I'm just as equal and I'm not even a Major.
But I do have a 65 piece band.
Does that make me more equal than some?
or am I as equal as others?
Albeit, I feel I'm just as equal as everyone.
It doesn't matter, we are all equal as each other as
we are all part of the RMB brotherhood (sisterhood, for the girls)
Sorry that should all read RMB personhood.

Jim, you only need to pass your B2's to have your own band.
There is no discrimination on that front.

I take it you give English??? lessons as well........or was it to Gaelic words?

You liberal minded Scottish Laird's are all the same.
They'll be wanting housing, next.

Keep the peasants down, is what I say, keep them down!!!!!!

Give them 'gruel' and let them be thankful for living in a free democratic (sic) country.
