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 still have my old Robeson Pocket knife I bought when I was a kid at a rummage sale 50 years ago. It spent years in my tackle box and then my toolbox,and after I retired it resides in my pocket at all times. When I was a kid, a long long time ago now, we used to call them " Jack Knives". Those were the days.
