And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
From a most tender age I was doing concrete work in order to make my grandmother's tiny fish ponds hold water. It was annual maintenance. She'd wait until my visits to haul her favorite fish out and then order me to drain the pond and resurface it so it wouldn't leak. I think I was 5 when she roped me into that work.
Fantasy is good.
