The first we knew of the War of 1812, was when England burned Washington D.C. to the ground. Didn't turn out like England thought it was going to, and it's not going to turn out like you think, either. Sorry, but you're not the first bully on our shores, just the most recent. No Marquis of Queensbury rules for Americans, either. News for you bucko, it was back then, but we used it anyway.
American spirit is what it's called.
And killing a few thousand of us, or a few million of us, won't change it. Until we're crossed in a cowardly manner, then it becomes and entirely different kind of spirit. Wait until you see what we do with that spirit this time. Sleep tight, if you can. Reflections Today I went to two hardware stores.
