Ceausescu time. Get on it Canucks.
They make things extraordinarily unpleasant for the target via sound. Lots of sound.
PATRICK HENRY
“Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves,” Willink said. “We have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on.
“We have petitioned. We have remonstrated. We have supplicated. We have prostrated ourselves before the throne and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament.
“But our petitions have been slighted. Our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult. Our supplications have been disregarded, and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne.
“In vain, after these things, may we indulge in fond hope of peace and reconciliation? There is no longer any room for hope.
“If we wish to be free, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!
“They tell us that we are weak — unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house?
“Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope until our enemies shall have us bound hand and foot?
“Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power.
“The millions of people — armed in the holy cause of liberty and in such a country as that which we possess — are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.
“Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles with us.
“The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. It is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery.
“Our chains are forged. The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come! It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, ‘Peace, peace’ — but there is no peace. The war has actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms.
“Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that we gentlemen wish? What would they have?
“Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at
“I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Just watch..the truckers in Canada will fold like a cheap suit.
I give it 2 weeks.
