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.

The Morning Star - Ukrainian style
This morning star was photographed in Luhansk, Ukraine and was one of the pictures of the day at The Telegraph.
Via Wikipedia: A morning star is any of several medieval club-like weapons that included one or more spikes. Each used, to varying degrees, a combination of blunt-force and puncture attack to kill or wound the enemy.
Nasty. They are really getting medieval there in central Europe.
