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.

I miss the real men
When I was a young boy, these guys were everywhere. They were able to raise a family, fix most anything, work hard to bring home the bacon, and go to church every Sunday. They could catch a stringer of trout most any day as well.
Same here...and yes, I miss that meme that make it acceptable to know how to clean a fish or a deer, con a ship, build a house, etc. Today in the fashionable metrosexual world of the "MTV generation" those things, like the word, "PATRIOT" that will get you audited by the IRS, are out of fashion.

ReplyDeleteHa! One of my uncles actually did build his own house. It's still standing strong up behind Jones Mill in Tuolumne.
