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.
When I was a kid, I had this dream. I restored a PBY Catalina and lived in it, flying around the world. Stopping here, staying there---then moving on. In this strange fantasy, I spent several years seeing the world as one could do in a PBY.
Didn't some millionaire try that back in the 50's, only to be shot by Arabs in Egypt or Saudi? I read somewhere that that PBY is still rotting where they had to abandon it.
