Mark Kernes, AVN

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which
feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget
that ye were our countrymen."/ -- Samuel Adams, speech at the
Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776/
