WE CANNOT FOUND A COUNTRYBASED ON WAR !

WE CANNOT FOUND A COUNTRYTHAT IS AFRAID TO FIGHT !

RABBLE !

RABBLE !RABBLE !

( murmuring )

OH, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

IT'S MR. FRANKLIN.

OH, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.FRANKLIN, FRANKLIN.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

MR. FRANKLIN, WHERE DO YOUSTAND ON THE WAR ISSUE ?

I BELIEVE THAT IF WE ARETO FORM A NEW COUNTRY

WE CANNOT BE A COUNTRY THATAPPEARS WAR-HUNGRY AND VIOLENT

TO THE RESTOF THE WORLD.

HOWEVER, WE ALSOCANNOT BE A COUNTRY

THAT APPEARS WEAK ANDUNWILLING TO FIGHT

TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

SO, WHAT IF WEFORM A COUNTRY--

THAT APPEARSTO WANT BOTH ?

YES.YES, OF COURSE.

WE GO TO WAR.

AND PROTEST GOING TO WARAT THE SAME TIME !

RIGHT !

IF THE PEOPLE OFOUR NEW COUNTRY

ARE ALLOWED TO DOWHATEVER THEY WISH

THEN SOME WILL SUPPORT THE WARAND SOME WILL PROTEST IT.

AND THAT MEANSTHAT AS A NATION

WE COULD GO TO WARWITH WHOMEVER WE WISHED

BUT AT THE SAME TIMEACT LIKE WE DIDN'T WANT TO.

IF WE ALLOW THE PEOPLE

TO PROTEST WHATTHE GOVERNMENT DOES,

THEN THE COUNTRY WILL BEFOREVER BLAMELESS !

IT'S LIKE HAVING YOUR CAKEAND EATING IT TOO.

THINK OF IT, AN ENTIRE NATIONFOUNDED ON SAYING ONE THING

AND DOING ANOTHER.

AND WE WILLCALL THAT COUNTRY

THE UNITED STATESOF AMERICA.

WOW !

I GET IT NOW !I GET IT !

WHOA, HERE IT GOES.

I WISH I COULDGO BACK TO MY TIME.

TO MY TIME.TO-TO MY TIME.
