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.
Reminds me of a story my father told me long ago. He was 14 when the Hindenburg flew over his head in 1937 on its way to Lakehurst, NJ. We all know how that story ended. The antenna of the Empire State Building was to be used as a mooring post for zeppelins until that mode of transportation ended in fire.
