3. I was envisioning a fair trial at least, but, the Gitmo method would be good too.

2. After first recoiling in horror?
Tar and feathers were popular back then, I understand.

They could call it ye olde good start.

6. If they could have seen the future, they's have called off the revolution.
As an exercise in the futility of exchanging power hungry bosses. At least George III had the excuse of being crazy. While our George II can only blame stupidity.

8. Knowing what I have read about the founding fathers...
many of them would have taken them around back and kicked the shit out of them.

10. well, first the homes of both would be pulled down to the ground
and then both would have been tarred and feathered, and rode out of town on a rail. But I also suspect that they might be doing a dance from the bottom of a long rope thrown over a tree limb.

I don't think they would be given the option to leave the country while still breathing.

Ah...the good old days....:evilgrin:

11. I ask myself what would Ethan Allen have done?
It would not have been a tea party.
