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.
In 1974, at age 18, I spent the spring working for the WVDNR as a "fire patrolman." I drove what was affectionately known as "The Blue Dragon" (for its paint job), a sixties-something Power Wagon. It steered and rode like the proverbial "road wagon," but it went about anywhere. I would have stayed on the job, but the state felt that the position required a college degree to do what I was doing without one. Oh well, that's the breaks.
The biggest problem with the Power wagon is the windshield wipers. In this case, the rig also needs a windshield.
