"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. Man is the only Patriot."
Mark Twain

And of those people, there are those drawn to it like moths to a streetlight. You know, 'patriots.'
