(Although it is interesting that your first resort is to profanity.)Perhaps you have been in "this fight" beyond your tolerance for setbacks. There will be more of them. We have seen nothing yet, such as Valley Forge, Brandywine, etc. The times will try your soul, will you be up to it? You can be, if you can pull your spirt up from that dark place it has descended to.<BR/>As to being in "this fight", I have been since you were in elementary school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-28535642845859923472009-04-04T15:30:00.000+01:002009-04-04T15:30:00.000+01:00"Basing your assessment of current realities and f..."Basing your assessment of current realities and future possibilities on romanticized Hollywood movie versions of history is dangerous and possiblity suicidal."<BR/><BR/>If you don't care for my interpretation of Thermopylae, have you hear of Davis and Goliath, or maybe Agincourt?

That's movie romance, not reality. There were 7,000 Greek troops blocking a small pass. Even when the larger Greek force was dismissed, about 700 Thespians, 400 Thebans, and probably several hundred others, stayed to fight with the Spartans.<BR/><BR/>And they didn't frustrate all of Persia's might, they just delayed their advance by seven days, battling on only three of them. Some sources also suggest that the entire Persian army was not deployed at Thermopylae, though it might have been a large part of it. Furthermore, the subsequent defeat of the Persian Navy is what ultimately forced the Persians to withdraw.<BR/><BR/>Basing your assessment of current realities and future possibilities on romanticized Hollywood movie versions of history is dangerous and possiblity suicidal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-15665679703328796242009-04-03T16:18:00.000+01:002009-04-03T16:18:00.000+01:00Freedom is never more than one generation from ext...Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction.
