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 was driving between Cimmaron and garden city Kansas late one night and i am the only car on the road. I see, way off in the distance, a flashing red light. I was driving along and the light kept getting closer and i still had no idea what it was. All of a sudden, my car was being tossed all over the road and there was this deafening roar as i saw four red circles rapidly pulling away from me. then i remembered i had read in the paper that the B1's in Wichita had a new low level flight training route that went right through that area. I had been buzzed by a "Bone' flying at 100 to 150 feet above the ground! I can imagine the pilots in the cockpit, seeing my car heading down the highway, aiming for me just to scare the hell out of me!! a classic "Watch this shit' moment for them!!
BONE!
