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.

Only four were quick enough to survive.
Looked at from another perspective, why didn't anyone think that the wood deck wasn't built to handle that many people? Did not that reality suggest to at least one of them that they shouldn't all crowd out there? I'll bet they are all city folk, unused to having to make those kinds of judgements.

And only one man kept his calm and looked out for his woman, the groom!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and good for him, but in defense of the other guys, there weren't any other women near enough at hand to offer much help to (the bride and groom were in the way), and thus they reverted to the very male rule of "every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost."
