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?

That looks like a safari tour boat on the Zambezi River. Near the Chobi Lodge in Botswana. Ours was chased by a hippo for a long, long 10 minutes. Man, that boat was slow.....chased by a water-born freight train....that wanted to eat all 20 of us!
See that wake? That hippo isn't swimming. They are solid muscle and don't float. He is running along the bottom, and "jumps" to the surface, then sinks under again.
those guys kill more people in africa than all the crocks in the nile.
