Thank you. It’s never easy to be in a minority of thought. The hurdles the Founders faced would have daunted anyone but they hung in there.
"Founders" indeed! They were "scribblers", printers, silversmiths, politicians, and a host of other occupations. Some were English, some not.
They created without knowing - until the very last minute - what exactly it was they were creating.
Once the "die was caste", they had little choice but to proceed...or be captured then hung for treason.
Quite an "encourager", no?
