Persist

12 score years ago George Washington and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen were warned. 

Nevertheless, they persisted. 

Guess they should have just sat down and shut up then. They too were just a bunch of rabble rousing upstarts. They too pushed back against the powers-that-be and their exploitive status quo. They too sought justice and equality against a government drunk on its own power. 

But, alas, the powerful are rarely quickly willing to give it up. 

Nevertheless, they persisted. 

History often ends up on the side of the persistent.
