101. Just a reminder that
only about 20% of the population in 1775 advocated breaking away from the British. 'Course, most people were illiterate back then and very few were formally educated. Come to think of it, with the dumbing down of American curriculum, I suppose we're facing the same thing now. Starve the education system of teachers able to do what they do best -- teach, good curriculum and adequate monies and what you get is complacent, lazy-assed Bush voters.
