Congratulations nonetheless.

What makes you "Independent?" [/quote] The same thing that makes you sovereign, the ability to do as we dam well like. The name IRON was chosen during our period as a negatively Independent alliance e.g we had no external treaties. This is negative independence in the same context as Liberty has both negative and positive definitions. We were never neutral but were never committed to anyone. However, in the modern period of IRON we have pursued the notion of "positive independence", the most recent example of which is our on going battle with Gremlins and refusal to surrender this notion.

Lenny N Karl Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Congrats on your birthday. Everyone I have ever met from IRON has always been a decent person. This world needs alliances like IRON around to keep it interesting and fun. I hope that this mess with GRE ends soon and I offer any assistance in mediating a peaceful end to that particular drama. Just drop me a line...GRE or IRON. If not, then just celebrate the day and raise your glasses multiple times to your long success as a stable happy community.
