... and, be grateful that some of our contemporaries weren't around c.1776 ...
"We don't have enough colonists to fight the Red Coats. It's better that we just roll over because they'll just keep coming at us."
"Oh, I don't agree with King George, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be king. He should be able to appoint whomever he wishes as governor; and, we should accept it. He can impose whatever taxes he deems necessary to support the Empire, too. If he needs me to put soldiers up for the night, my house is his house. I'm a centrist."
"Throw the tea in the harbor? No, I think we should wait and see how things go. Who knows, the King may wake up tomorrow and be sane and rational...you know, and do what's best for the Colonies. I say save throwing any tea into the harbor option for another day. I know I said that the last time a major thing happened...yes, and the time before that ... right ... but, we don't want to come across as extremists, or crazy, do we? What happens if we lost? What would 'The Colonial Gazette' say? Someone might label us as leftists, liberals, or worse. Certainly not patriots."
"I really don't want to give up my security for liberty. I'll take whatever the Crown desires. I know the King would do the same for us if the situation was reversed."
Me, 2006: no more life-time appointments for this illegitimate, corrupt, treasonous administration. WWTJD?
