Kev,
we live a stones throw away from the battlefield where the most monumental battle in all of history took place. The Battle of Saratoga was the turning point of the Revolutionary War and without it there might not be a United States of America, we could very well all be doing tea and crumpets today and bowing down to "royalty". The very thought of it horrifies me. I've been to the battlefield and they actually provide you with details of how teh battle was fought. It was an incredibly stupid and arrogant battle plan by the British that allowed the ragtags to kick their asses and convince others that we could win the war. Thank God for that.
