Oh, point of history for us Americans out there. 12 of the 14 original colonies almost stopped Rhode Island from revolting/becoming a state. They thought those Quakers were far to redical to mix with the rest of us. Keep that at the back of your mind when your think about your first amendment rights. Now Nova Scotia thought the other 13 colonies were passing up a on sweet deal and just nutz. I mean every other colony of the British Empire was paying something like 37% tax and the Americans were just 3% and the British were actually willing to give us "some" represenation in Parliment when no other colonies had any. Those thoughts should mix with the how things got to be in America discussions.
