"From a small spark kindled in America, a flame has arisen, not to be extinguished. Without consuming, it winds its progress from nation to nation, and conquers by silent operation. Man finds himself changed, and discovers that the strength and powers of despotism consist wholly in the fear of resisting it. And that in order to be free, it is sufficient that he wills it." #ThomasPaine

While I'm nattering on about TV ... watch Ken Burns' "The American Revolution." If you're a USian, just watch it. Well worth your time. The series pulls no punches, you'll likely come away with a deeper understanding of unresolved issues, and the last few minutes: that Hamilton quote, and the final words of the series.
