Chongo is also well informed. He knows that it was not Patrick Henry who defiantly said to the British, "Give me convenience or give me death!" That expression came later in American history, sometime during the 1950s, and it is now the defining motto and sworn credo of present day American "civilization". If you don't believe me, just note how the average American acts when delayed in traffic or when he finds out that the neighborhood donut shop is all out of his favorite variety of sugar-glazed, cream-filled jelly donuts with candy sprinkles on top!!!! (Heh!)
