Reconquista

1. The term for a war of "re" conquest of the United States, principally by chicanos and mestizos. It's a war fought by means of illegal immigration and resource depletion fueled by massive breeding of children in the target country, obligating local, state and federal social support systems to support the invading force.

2. A covert war fought by a nation of people too chickenshit to fight as open aggressors.

slow reconquest 

Its Saturday night, childs sleeping, nobody needing me nor interested.

Safe to say i've gained back some freedom and time. To dive into what the city has to offer. Look at stuff, listen to music, dance! You only start missing these freedoms when they are restricted. And you enjoy them more. Value time.
Slow reconquest.
