John Browns and Aliens

Some people have nightmares about monsters, ghosts, murders or going to school naked. I have nightmares about aliens and this man.


Spooky isn't he. This is Old John Brown, the abolitionist or terrorist depending on your take. Here are some of his quotes.

"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood."

"I want you to understand that I respect the rights of the poorest and weakest of colored people, oppressed by the slave system, just as much as I do those of the most wealthy and powerful. That is the idea that has moved me, and that alone."

Some of his action include hacking slave owners to death with broadswords and an unsuccessful slaver upriseing in Harper's Ferry that he began 150 years ago today.

I am as opposed to slavery as the next man, I just don't think killig people with swords as a workable solution.

Can you imagine how intense a nightmare about John Brown being an Alien would be? Or maybe John Brown, Clown, Aleins?
