Terriblossom, the fact that the convenient was signed by 453,000 does not indicate that 543,000 were prepared to take up arms.

I am sure if this statement is not FACTUALLY correct you will point out where I am wrong.

If you COULD provide a figure of the percentage of that 543,000 who were prepared to take up arms I'm sure we'd all love to see it, and of course, your supporting evidence.
