    There’s a quote from Winston Churchill that belongs here. Something like “… than live as slaves”.

    pdxr13. This one?

    “If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” Sir Winston Churchill.

    We’re just about down to that last box of options.

      I think that we have all odds against us, which is kinda optimistic, considering.

    I was clearly born 256 years too late.

    “Ever since I arrived to a state of manhood, I have felt a sincere passion for liberty. The history of nations doomed to perpetual slavery, in consequence of yielding up to tyrants their natural born liberties, I read with a sort of philosophical horror; so that the first systematical and bloody attempt at Lexington, to enslave America, thoroughly electrified my mind, and fully determined me to take part with my country.”

    –Ethan Allen

    Outnumbered, out gunned, cut off from supplies, little time and a country to save…

      Just make sure you START right, and then things become easier than they would OTHERWISE be. Maybe not a whole lot, but nonetheless easier…

    Just make sure you START.
