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'm working in Texas and went to a Texas BBQ joint with real Texans yesterday who were chiding me for being a foreigner. They asked if I had a passport (yes, I did have it and I produced it). When ordering, I asked at the meat counter if they had any brisket-flavored tofu, and whether they could slab it on a mixed green salad. I said it with a straight face and explained that I'm trying to curb my carnivorous instincts.
