A Lethal Dõs Manifesto


America. Land of the free and home of us. I, Cerebro, was not privileged to be born in this great pot of delicious, melting culture. But we Lethal Dõs are a testament to the grand idea that two men, from different corners of the sphere…wait, that's not logically possible—but back to my point: that two men can join together in the service of great graphic design, and wrestling on the weekends..

I, Cerebro, have married a beautiful, American lady and look forward to making my own little tag team of destruction and candies. All this is only possible within this great land.

That being said, these are scary times. The economy is in upheaval and the government seems more concerned with legacies and winning wars and elections than securing the futures of you and us. I know, from firsthand experience as a wee luchador, how frightening it is to live where the government is not your friend. I also know that existence is never more than the loss of a few patriots away. Which is why I'm happy to live here. Here, there are many, many patriots. Cowboy patriots, hockey mom patriots, truck-driving patriots, mask-wearing luchador patriots, blue-collar patriots, maverick patriots, patriots who like the company of the same sex patriots, and most important of all, patriots who wear clothes. As I, Cerebro, tried to design a t-shirt that would make clear how I feel about the role of patriots in this country, I realized it would be impossible, because that would take a very large shirt, and it would be difficult to ship. What I finally realized was that the most important thing a patriot can do, is to stand when they are called, by the times, by their fellow patriots, or by their conscience. This is what we have tried to state in the shirt design above.

As I looked for a quote that would best fit the idea, I found many others just as patriotic, but not quite as short. One that particularly caught my eye was this one:
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage.
(Sir Alex Fraser Tytler) (1742-1813) Scottish jurist and historian

Are we doomed to failure? Or can we beat the average? I think we already have. We just need to hold the record. Aren't we, America, No. 1 after all?
