"may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen"

[welshTerrier2]

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" - Samuel Adams

fighting the battles we face may require a bit more sacrifice than most have thus far been willing to make ... and yet, there really is no alternative ...
