"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" -- attributed to Patrick Henry

My grandmother says we are related to Patrick Henry. I hope she is right...

I do not deign to comment on something so obvious except to distinctly ignore it.

The sad thing is that a lot of people at the time said "Ol' Pat Henry has done gone around the bend! I'm so glad that his father isn't here to see what foolishness his boy is up too..."

Most of the population didn't agree with P. Henry & Co. Most of the population today wouldn't agree with him (other than lip service...).

Sigh.
