If you cut a hotdog in half then slice it lengthwise down the middle, you don't have to waste time buying hotdog buns - just use the hamburger buns or bread slices.
So, as I was sitting here, eating my breakfast dogs and not having an available hand to click, click, click around the board - I looked for something of interest to peruse... I came up with the following:
"I am beseiged. The enemy has demanded surrender at discretion...I call on you in the name of liberty, of patriotism, and everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid...If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible and die like a soldier who never forgets what is due his honor and that of his country."
These are the words of William B. Travis, who commanded the Alamo when Texas rebelled against Mexico's despot, Santa Anna.

Who could make a call like this today? Who would answer? What would the circumstances have to be in order for others to consider it legitimate?
If it was a true call to arms, would you answer?
Well many brave Texans did during that crucial turning point in history.

Click_HereI believe the actions of the Texans reflect what George Washington said here:
"And you will, by the dignity of your Conduct, afford occasion for Posterity to say, when speaking of the glorious example you have exhibited to Mankind, had this day been wanting, the World had never seen the last stage of perfection to which human nature is capable of attaining." --George Washington
