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.
My day doesn't begin until the first cup of black coffee.
In Australia, I ordered a black coffee at a hotel; it came looking like the above. I mustered all the politeness I was capable of at that ungodly hour known as "before coffee," and reminded the waitress that I'd ordered "black" coffee.
She replied, "Oh, there's no sugar in it, sir."
That was a long time ago, but it must have been on a Monday!
(The default condition of coffee in Oz is white. If you order "iced coffee" you'll get coffee flavoured milk. Be warned!)
It's like that so far...
