I keep thinking of that young lady in that movie, standing up in church. She said something along the lines of " When your country now needs you the most, are you stopping at mere words"......Also heard was the line," A dog is a good meal". I ain't stoppin' at words, and I know a few dogs that I intend to feed long and well on their skulking flesh.
"British Lieutenant General Sir Henry CLINTON".......Hmmmmm. Why does this NOT surprise me?
