Samuel Adams = America's Ghandi?! Thanks for the laughs!

Samuel Adams isn’t known for killing innocent folks. He was known for inciting riots where innocent folks got injured and killed.

Samuel Adams did write some interesting stuff, though, which could be considered quite appropriate given today’s situation in Iraq. Read and ponder what he wrote on the 17th of October, 1768:

"No man can pretend to say that the peace and good order of the community is so secure with soldiers quartered in the body of a city as without them. Besides, where military power is introduced, military maxims are propagated and adopted, which are inconsistent with and must soon eradicate every idea of civil government."
