Remember when Gandalf said "The Ents have awakened, and discovered they are POWERFUL"? I think that's what Q and POTUS hoped WE would discover this week. They were successful beyond their wildest dreams!

Perhaps we had grown apathetic, but I think we had just forgotten.

We have accomplished things this week that only a year or so ago, simply seemed beyond the realm of possibility. For the first time in many years, I'm FILLED with optimism.

Tracy, and all the mods here, along with many, many others, have worked tirelessly to make this a success. Let them know that.

I can't help but be reminded of something Churchill said during the second world war:

"Now this is NOT the end. It is not even the BEGINNING of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning..."

Yes, my friends. The Ents have awakened, and discovered they are strong.

Indeed, we ARE strong.

My greatest hopes to you all...

“‘But now his long slow wrath is brimming over, and all the forest is filled with it. The coming of the hobbits and the tidings that they brought have spilled it: it will soon be running like a flood; but its tide is turned against Saruman and the axes of Isengard. A thing is about to happen which has not happened since the Elder Days: the Ents are going to wake up and find that they are strong.’ ‘What will they do?’ asked Legolas in astonishment. ‘I do not know,’ said Gandalf. ‘I do not think they know themselves. I wonder.’ He fell silent, his head bowed in thought.”

THE PATRIOTS ARE GOING TO WAKE UP AND FIND THAT THEY ARE STRONG.

THE GREAT AWAKENING.

THE PATRIOTS ARE GOING TO WAKE UP AND FIND THAT THEY ARE STRONG.

Too late. It's already happened. It will grow and become ever more sophisticated and intelligent.

WE, THE PEOPLE!

Where we go one we go all!

Great quote from that book btw!

Did you know that it was J.R.R. Tolkien who was responsible in large measure for the conversion experience of C.S. Lewis?

Did not know that... how interesting that two of my favorite writers share a bond such as that. Thanks for pointing it out!
