You made an assertion that they "blinked" at inopportune times.  I want some historical examples of what you have in mind so I can better understand your point.  It seems to me that you and I have not read the same history books; either that, or we interpret history differently.  Giving some examples that you have in mind when the founding fathers missed opportunities to fix the problem without establishing independence from the oppressive government would help me understand your point better.  You don't even have to explain how they missed it if you don't want.  Just give me the historical example, and maybe a reference might help too, but it is not necessary.   Bill Taylor wrote: > ... you are really plucking on my last nerve. > I've got to have a break from you for a few days.   I'm sorry that my posts effect you this way.  Take as long a break as you need.  I'll back off from my inquisitiveness.   Peace be with you.
