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.

World's largest cut emerald
Weighing in at a hefty 11 kilos (57,500 carats), the world’s largest faceted ‘emerald’ was mined in Brazil and cut in India.
It would make quite the pendant for an Irish beauty - or a door stop.
It has the potential to turn any young lady's head.
ReplyDeleteYeah, her head will turn after the big green rock bounces off of it.
