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.

Friday Open Road
Or, the art of the escape.
I gotta to down to Visalia today. I'll be on the road, but is that an escape?
It's not an escape if you're simply doing it with a slave's collar around your neck - doing it because you owed your soul to the company store. But you can still THINK of the escape. Maybe that's good enough...but not to Visalia. Who escapes to Visalia? -- Iceland, the land of fire and ice, populated by freckle-faced ladies would be a better fantasy.
