August 3, 1973:On this forgotten day, the infamous Chicken Ranch brothel in La Grange was shut down thanks to the colorful and always entertaining local reporter, Marvin Zindler.
Its ironic that he became famous as a top-notch reporter by bringing to light one of the worst kept secrets in central Texas. He apparently was the only over 40 male in Texas that didn't know anything about it.
Thanks for nuthin' Marvin (43 years ago today)

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
