Here is the Dickinson Quote I was talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCBgYMRBe-M

It's called the "Tenth Man" rule. If nine men share the same opinion or theory, the tenth must always disagree. No matter how compelling the evidence, he must always dig deeper and try to prove the others wrong.

History is always 20/20 but none of us here can guess what is going to happen tomorrow. Can anyone tell me what Tomorrow will bring for the Ukraine Crisis? 10 Years from now it may have seemed obvious at the time. But it wasn't.

He made a good case and some of what he feared did come to pass. Obviously its good that the majority went against him but I think he made an impression that probably found its way into the constitution later.

I personally live by the rule that if I find myself in agreement with someone 100% of the time, its safe to assume that one of us is lying. Either someone is just telling me what I want to hear or I’m lying to myself.

In this particular case, I don’t disagree with Bundy, I just feel that one individual (Mack) should not be allowed to threaten the credibility of all. Following the most radical guy seldom has a good outcome.

We had lots of great founders but thank God a thinking cool headed man named Washington was there to lead in war and the following peace.
