nedster I believe this was meant for you:

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.

”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 your 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

I apologize if I hurt your feelings with my last post to you. It's just hard for me to accept that a grown man living in this country today would feel so incapacitated by the complexities of life in America that he would compare himself to a slave.

But I do apologize to you for being so short with you. I guess I just have to learn to be more sensitive to the feelings of others.

Now then, in what state did Sam Adams feel that slavery was a boon for the culture?
