From every stage in commercial prosperity, and in educational and political advancement that we reach, we feel less and less inclined to sacrifice our individual comfort and independence; every time that we sing Rule, Bri tannia and loudly assert that we never, never, never will be slaves, we come one step nearer the refutation of our own prophecy. Every decade that passes without serious threat of invasion, every little war that we muddle through, adds to the conviction that our past immunity is our perpetual heritage.
