The old rousing, rally round the flag boys.
I suppose this sort of verse will resonate with some.

Indeed. Welcome to the barricades, Comrade Marty. Having worked for a union for 20 years…as rep, paid organiser, President, and now life member…I’ve been here quite a while. Latte?

Rally 'round the flag. Bring it to the streets.

Up here in the far north it's far too hot and humid for that. We do apathy very well though :)

Vic was the one here who has it right. The rebel call is just a group of control freaks wanting to replace the current control freaks.

Yes, Marty, I'm on my way up North now with a trailer full of apathy for the Winter.
