I read an interest set of statistics a while back. Seems like during the Revolutionary War, 10 percent supported the british, 10 percent did all the fighting and the other 80 percent sat on their fat butts waiting to see who would win.
Does anyone here really think it would be any different today? Does anyone really think even 10 percnt would have the guts to stand up to the government today? I think that most people in this country are too darn lacadaisical to even care about what's going on. "Heck1 I got my big screen TV, my SUV in the drive way, I got my 12 pack and football is on the tube. Don't bother me. I don't want to think about it. After all, the talking heads on the tube give me totally honest information. hand another beer."
