There's that pesky Constitution again, always getting in the way of Piggy's dictatorial aspirations
Art. I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make rules and regulations for the armed forces — including codes of discipline and strictures against following illegal orders. You can’t punish members of Congress for articulating those rules. Also protected by Speech and Debate Clause.

A full-scale replica of the Mayflower was built in England and sailed to Plymouth, MA in 1957. It was given as a gift to honor the alliance of friendship formed between the UK and the USA during WW2. The story of the Mayflower II coming tomorrow, as a Thanksgiving treat.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
Carrie Fisher was the blueprint.
Protect your people. Call out the predators.
