Redcoat don't own a red coat. Have alot of red and black? Have worn a little red all my life.

The Goat sez: Ahhhh...the bald eagle as an avatar. Nice choice.

 

 

Franklin's Letter to His Daughter

 

"For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.

 

"With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country . . .

 

"I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America . . . He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on."

Quoted from above: "The Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him"

 

Not lazy, just STRONGER. Survival of the fittest, Kinda like football!

The Goat sez; Benjamn Franklin also said "How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them."

Mancoverage sez; It's been more like survival of the "mis-classified".

Here we go again, everyone complains when we play in a "little" classification and everyone complains when we go up a classification! We can't win!

 

And I put quotations around the word little because I think the whole classification system is A LOAD OF MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
