True.

Some countries' major role in life is to serve as warning to others.

Nice piece of history. Let's hope that the Brits never need to protect their homes again............

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
--George Santayana

As I recall, the American Committee for Defense of British Homes movement was the precursor for the passage of the Lend-Lease law passed in March 1941.
No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefor. -- Murdock v. Pennsylvania
If the State converts a right into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right with impunity. -- Shuttleworth v. City of Birmingham

The shame is that there are more bad examples (most of them tied to the original British empire) than good ones and that our Federal government seems to have developed the same amnesia as the Brits.
