Very well put. Believe me, I am sick to death about all this and I probably won't sleep tonight. I just keep thinking about those old 16th century white guys who put their lives on the line, if not in battle, with their revolutionary ideas. If they were politically expedient, we wouldn't be sitting here debating this issue.

You missed the Revolution by two hundred years. No wonder you're confused.

Gee, if I were you, I wouldn't get any sleep at all, either, thinking about NONEXISTANT white guys, who weren't here in the 1500's ( that's when the 16th century was ! ) , fighting King George III, who hadn't even been born yet , giving up their lives for nothing . : ^ )
