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 stayed in a fire lookout station right on the cali/Oregon border in 2003. It was pretty cool,but the most interesting part was watching the drug deals go down every night. After dark you'd see headlights pull into a very remote section of the forest & just sit. Twenty minute or so & another vehicle would would show up to the same spot. After a few minutes one of the vehicles would leave & then ten or twenty minutes later the other would leave. We stayed for three nights & saw three or four of these transactions every evening.
If I'm not mistaken, I know someone who was stationed there in the '60's.
