How many of "us" are there?

Forwarded to me from some forum:

Some where in time I believe it was in Rome. (I Hope some one else can fill in the story) it was proposed that all the slaves should have to wear white arm bands. The response to this was NO: if they see how many they are they will revolt.

If you believe we have become slaves to this government I hope you will join me in wearing a white arm band. I made ours by ripping up an old white sheet.
