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.
decades ago... guy is working a hard hat job. a friend nags him about going to a bar in Albuquerque named The Ranch. he finally goes. Monday morning he makes mistake #1: he tells his coworkers he went to The Ranch, and it's a gay bar.
they eventually found something else to talk about. one day, he's eating lunch, and someone told him he had a spot of white on the corner of his mouth, right there, and he made unrecoverable mistake #2:
No, the worst is when I checked the water in my Keurig at the camper. A mouse had crawled in the reservoir and drowned. Thank God I checked the water first.
