yes , i think we need the Paul Reveres of our day to make their rides and warn the people
A book on Paul Revere that I recommend is
Paul Revere's Ride by David Hackett Fischer.
While history has been good about telling of his ride, that really wasn't his "long suit". Interestingly enough, although he is most known today for the ride, it seems he wasn't the only or even most prolific rider that evening.
What Paul Revere did that really was his MAJOR contribution, was as an ambassador. Back then, each area had a militia - and all the militias were individualized. Paul Revere worked hard to intertwine those militias by personally going to the different areas (LOTS of travelling back then) so that they would fight as a group.
THAT is what we need today, even more than a rider - we need organizers. People to get individuals together. Lone wolves die alone, but teams...... they illustrate the statement "four plus four equals thirty".
ETA: I downloaded the video last night, haven't watched it yet - it's waiting on me though!
