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!
Patrick Henry
Speech to the Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775

I posted this before coming here this morning on macleans forum, because people were calling me anti-american, and I am not.
I do wonder how yanks can have the audacity to believe they carry the flag of freedom so high when bush is allowed to do what he does, and they invade so many countries, pushing their version of false freedom on farmers and barefoot natives.
