But I'm sitting here so I'll type.
As most of you being my facebook friends can tell I've been on a Chirchill kick of late. Why? I don't know really. Perhaps cause he saved the world for Democracy. Perhaps because everything he ever said was right and turned out exactly way he said it would happen. Churchill had been among the first to recognise the growing threat of Hitler long before the outset of the Second World War, and his warnings went mostly ignored. He was absolutely opposed to appeasment which just made the Nazis stronger("You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war." Maybe Chamberlian thought he was improving Britian's image abroad). He also had a speech impediment when he was young, and failed out of a speech class. Ironic cause he was one of the best public speakers of his time.
I love wikipedia. I typed this up earlier, looked up Churchill to get the war quote, and a couple hours later, I'm just stopping reading.
Anywho, I'm going to bed.
