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.
But the tempation to do it more than once will always itch at the back of the brain:
"As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man- There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:- That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wobbling back to the Fire;"
An old cowboy joke comes to mind. Two cowboys were sitting sitting by a campfire. One of them sticks his finger in a cow pie and starts rubbing the crap on his lips. The other cowboy asked what the hell are you doing? I got chapped lips. That is not going do anything for chapped lips. The first cowboy said I know, but it will damn sure stop you from licking your lips!
lol

That is funny!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of back in the 50's sneaking a generous glob of Absorbine into a fellow high school football teammate's jockstrap for a hoot.
