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 had a friend who, in his misspent youth, came home in the wee hours of a Saturday morning after a night of carousing. Much later that morning, he stumbled out of bed, made coffee, and wandered out to the driveway to get the paper, only to find his Rambler parked cattywumpus, with the driver's door wide open, just like he'd left it when he got home. Luckily, it wasn't Wintertime, or he might have found it like this picture. The neighbors were amused, needless to say.
Well, let's see, that means the door was open all night so the dome light was burning and now the battery is dead. It just gets funner and funner.
