Thanks for the ping, I guess this is why they deleated mine.
Anyhow, I'll say what I said before: If there were any people planning on sitting on their hands because Shays wasn't conservative enough, I think they just got planted firmly in his camp.
I figured that this was the one you spoke of. I'm amazed that Shays would say this. He really grew a pair of brass ones. I hope the rest of the party follows his example.
