"It is not the form of government, nor yet our laws we are quarreling with, but the malpractices of the officers and the abuses of power we suffer under those empowered to manage our public affairs." Herman Husbands circa 1770, Regulator.
Look up the Regulators in your North Carolina History.
I recited this quote, to this seated Council at one of their regular meetings. Warning them to not allow this (qoute) to become the mantra of the Southern Shores citizens.
Obviously, they weren't listening or it just went "over their heads".
