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.
Reminds me of driving a USMC 5 ton truck equipped with snorkel gear and water proofing through the North Carolina surf 60 years ago. The Studebaker/Reo had a locking throttle on the dashboard and you sat atop of the seat back and steered with your feet. You could cruise in 6 ft water no problem....Fun in the sun!
I carry one with me, always, just in case
