🗓 September 22, 1776
Nathan Hale was hanged by the British for spying.
His final words:

“I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”

Me?
“I only regret that I have but one life to toot for my sanity.”

That’s it. That’s the post.

I'm not one for romanticizing the American Revolution or turning its participants into lionized heroes, but there's really something icky about #Lamont making fun of #NathanHale *because* he was hung by the British

Like, from what little I recall he want the greatest guy, but mocking him for his execution seems like a failure of empathy on the part of #Connecticut's most powerful politician
