I have been doing a lot of thinking about the Revolutionary War. A lot of good people got killed in it. I don’t know if anybody remembers Nathan Hale, but he was a real American patriot who got hanged in it. Sad.

Was it really necessary? I mean, it seems to me that something could have been worked out with the British about the tax on tea. All that good Lipton’s dumped into New Hampshire Harbor.

I think it was New Hampshire. Maybe Boston, but I carried New Hampshire big time and I know if they had any say in it, there wouldn’t have had to be a midnight raid by Paul what’s-his- name or good American boys freezing their asses off at Valley Forge. So unnecessary. Really horrible.

Sound bite to remember

The good thing about not knowing history is you can’t make the mistake of forgetting it.
