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.
Bought a small farm that had an old stave silo. I didn’t need it. Found an Amish guy who wanted it. I said ok, take it. He put sand around the bottom, climbed the bands on the sides (a feat that shames any rock climber) and starting at the top, cut bands and flipped the staves off. They would land in the sand, unbroken. He’d stack them and, it took a while, but he got a free silo. Very impressive.
