It always makes me think of the famous scene from “Gone With The Wind” when the Confederate men are standing around at Tara before the war, bragging about how the Yankees will flee in battle with soiled pants, when someone asks Rhett Butler what he thinks. He makes a rational observation about the disparity in manufacturing base, how the North has ships, men, factories, materials railroads and such, and how he thinks it is going to be difficult for the Confederacy.
Talk about the proverbial turd in the punchbowl. In their eyes, he was a traitor and they wanted to kill him. But he was right.
Well said! That very well illustrates our situation.
