Rob Roy (1995)
Set in the majestically beautiful Scottish highlands in the 1700s, this drama follows legendary swashbuckler Rob Roy (Liam Neeson), a cattle drover who takes out a loan from local nobility to help his townsmen survive. But when bad guy Archibald (Tim Roth) makes off with the money, murders Roy's best friend (Eric Stoltz) and rapes his wife (Jessica Lange), Roy goes on the run, and his flight culminates in a heart-racing sword-fight showdown.

Subject: hello from the freewayblogger

hello strider, and thanks for linking to my main site, freewayblogger.com. To refresh your memory, I'm the guy who's been putting signs up on the freeways against the war and trying to get others to do the same - slowly, but surely, the revolution is growing.

Trying to use humor, outrage and gentle encouragement here, in a daily weblog, to get more folks involved...

Enjoy, and give some thought to trying it yourself sometime. Cardboard, paint and something to say - that's all it takes...

peace, scarlet p.
