“....release them all at once... I don’t think they realize....”
Yes. The “the just release them” folks don’t seem to get the sheer magnitude of this and how quickly the public would forget if these had been released too soon and all at once.
The timing is tricky because the majority of the general public’s memory for the news cycle is (sadly!) about two days.
HMMMmmm I just I just wasted my time by posting the following...
"If ye love wealth better than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom,
go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776
