True enough. In the past when we were being taxed unfaily there were those who didn't want a split. They advocated working w/ the governing powers to come to a peaceful conclusion. They were called Tories ;>)
I recall reading somewhere that at the time of the American Revolution, something like 50% of the population remained loyal to the British crown. Of the 50% who supported the revolution, only a minority actually engaged in the actual warfare and liberation of the country.
The American population appears to be similarly split today. Apparently the descendants of the Minutemen and the Founders are at places like FR. We're the ones who are going to man the battle lines when the second revolution starts.
And the loyalists of today will benefit from our sacrifice (whether they "get it" or not), just as they did 232 years ago.
