"It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace -- but there is no peace. The war is 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 gentlemen wish? What would they have? 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 The passion with which he [Mr. Henry] delivers the entire speech, parts of which are pleas to God, give me goosbumps all over again. I thought it was powerful inside St. John's church, but with that huge sound sysem yesterday, well, it leaves me speechless.
Mr. Henry, we must devise a way to get yesterday's reenactment out to the people.
