Concerned Citizen to General Washington: "but sir, if we offend the King, we shall cause unwanted bloodshed. Can'st we not all get along?"

Do you live in a timewarp? I do believe that General Washington has been dead for a couple hundred years.

Gee, I didn't think I'd have to explain it...kind of obvious, really...I'm mocking your statement by comparing it to someone from "a couple hundred years" ago arguing with Mr. Washington for accomodation and appeasement in the face of government tyranny.

Duuuhhh.
