Yes, sir. The number of the population. In part because people are springing back and forth between the sides. There is a famous john adams statement a third were loyalist and a third were in the middle. I think that is almost certainly on the loyalist too high. And probably too low on the patriots. And too low on the people in the middle. My best sense, i would say about a fifth of the American People are willing to make a pretty strong commitment to the union of the empire. Two fifths are willing to make a strong commitment to military resistance and ultimately to independence and that leads another two fifths of the population that are in the middle.

Worlrlide air structure assistance, or wasa, were flown out from canada to get it back up. Just about every outdoor sport at Briar Cliff University uses the charger dome at some point so having it repaired was a big deal for them. Wasa had to investigate what exactly happened. A massive snow slide that came down and hit the corner and the corner only has so much room to give so the fabric tore along the edge, said Worldwide Air structure assistance owner, bob jessome.
