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.
It's more impressive on country roads in Georgia, where instead of cornstalks, the debris is 100' pine trees, looking like some supernatural sprite just traced his finger through the woods, looking for random trailers to tear up.
Lived in Kansas City, Mo for 58 years. Been really close to a couple of them. Close enough that my ears popped. You know that saying "there are no Atheists in a fox hole"........
You roll the dice when you live in tornado alley.

ReplyDeleteThey talk about earthquakes in California, but the tornado thing is much scarier as far as I'm concerned.
