I think your foil hat is screwing with the TV reception. Is this for real of just a short fiction story?

Look at the names at the end of the article and hopefully it will all be clear...

"On April 19, 1775, British and American soldiers exchanged fire in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord. On the night of April 18, the royal governor of Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage, commanded by King George III to suppress the rebellious Americans, had ordered 700 British soldiers, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith and Marine Major John Pitcairn, to seize the colonists' military stores in Concord, some 20 miles west of Boston.
A system of signals and word-of-mouth communication set up by the colonists was effective in forewarning American volunteer militia men of the approach of the British troops. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Paul Revere's Ride" tells how a lantern was displayed in the steeple of Christ Church on the night of April 18, 1775 as a signal to Paul Revere and others." - Library of Congress

Up until 3 years ago, I lived just 500 yards from where Paul Revere was captured by the British - between Lexington and Concord. It's wonderfully filled with amazing history that really drove home (to me at least) what our forefathers fought and died for; personal liberty.

Sadly, those who live in that area/state/region have had most of their liberties eroded by a combination of an oppressive government, reckless apathy, and an over-zealous liberal agenda.

I "served my stint" there for military service, but I retired the first day I leagally could so that I could get back here to CO where (for the most part) there is some level of sanity.
