Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
What consequences ever happened to the corrupt officials?
I imagine nothing. Nothing at all.
I suggest with throw Mar’in Ludda Kang day in the shitter where it belongs and celebrate Marvin Heemeyer week every June 4 from 2019 forward. My kind of guy and God bless him.
Local Municipalities can be worse than Nazis. Marvin Heemeyer could be any one of us.
Remember, the founders were Tax-Evaders, Traitors, and Cop Killers.
Happy Killdozer Day!
Let’s see; my local town snuck a property tax override in by disregarding the state constitution’s requirements for ‘adequate’ notification of all over-ride elections. They had literally a stealth election, only the local teachers (and some other unions) knew about it. Actual property owners were greatly surprised the day after.
The town is beginning to look like a dump after the town unilaterally changed the trash codes and regulations to make anything other than the amount of trash that can fit into the (town mandated) trash receptacles an ‘extra’ charge. So people (especially the new ‘citizens’) are dumping all over town.
Can I find anyone else in town that is willing to raise Hell about it? Not so far.
Worthy of a killdozer? Not so far.

Hum.
A couple of other articles; Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Heemeyer ) and ati ( https://allthatsinteresting.com/marvin-heemeyer-killdozer ) suggest that perhaps Marvin was simply a first class nut rather than a reasonable man pushed too far. Also an article in ‘damn interesting’ ( https://www.damninteresting.com/the-wrath-of-the-killdozer/ ) is a bit more sympathetic.
At this point I’d be very hesitant to either glorify or demonize him, and, instead, just say, Marvin RIP.
