"if ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, than go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." I do believe Samuel Adams nailed it.
The founders mostly lost everything to give us our freedom, what would you do to give your grandchildren freedom?
