4. Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island on a resolution to discuss independence:

"Well, in all my years I never heard, seen nor smelled an issue that was so dangerous it couldn't be talked about. Hell yeah! I'm for debating anything. Rhode Island says yea!"


I wish our present right-wingers understood that concept.

[elleng]

[TeamPooka]

9. My favorite line - John Dickinson: Don't forget that most men with nothing would rather....

protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor.


That line again
John Dickinson: Don't forget that most men with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor.

That's still our real problem.

12. I really like Stephen Hopkins.

"Hopkins: Ah, Ben! I want you to see some cards I'd gone and had printed up. Oughta save everybody here a lot of time and effort, considering the epidemic of bad disposition that's been going on around here lately. "Dear Sir, you are without any doubt, a rogue, a rascal, a villain, a thief, a scoundrel, and a mean, dirty, stinking, sniveling, sneaking, pimping, pocket-picking, thrice double-damned no-good son of a bitch." and you sign your name - what do you think?

Dr. Benjamin Franklin: I'll take a dozen, right now."

I'll take a gross!

[WolverineDG]

14. This is a revolution, dammit!
