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.

Ranefer, High Priest of Ptah and Seker at Memphis, painted limestone statue, height 5 feet, 10 inches, from Saqqara. Old Kingdom, 5th Dynasty, ca. 2494-2345 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
When is some "ethnic group" going to demand it be taken down because it offends them. After all the ancient Egyptians did own slaves.
