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.

An extraordinary image - a sandstorm over the Sahara from space.
The Sahara is actually much bigger than the contiguous United States, by about a million square kilometers. A place you could disappear in, especially if you knew where the water holes were.
No cabin of dreams down there my friend - oasis or not. It looks cool from space, but Lawrence can have Arabia.
ReplyDeleteAh... wouldn't the Sahara made him Lawrence of Africa?

One look at that and the ET's would report "No signs of life here."
