by Allan J. Feifer, American Thinker:

Think of the thousands of people working like diabolical ants so we can be reborn in their diabolical image.  They have a secret weapon they employ against us.  By tearing up the railroad tracks, burning bridges, and putting sugar in our gas tanks, they plan to ensure there is no going back to our old ways.  In a page out of history, Cortés burned his ships when he reached the New World to make a point: there was no going back for them, either.
