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?

I fell off a ine story house working construction. I did a 180 degree flip hit a 2x4 brace which flexed and tossed me again into a 6' fiberglass step ladder that launched me back through the window opening that I was originally standing over; flat on my back on a concrete slab that completely knocked this breath ot of me. When I could finally gasp.enough air to talk the first words out of my mouth was " why aren't you laughing" to the guy still on the wall. He said I didn't know if you were all right. I gasped ro tell him that was the funniest thing that he would ever see and that it was okay to laugh. When I caught my breath I joined in. That was funny despite the pain. Stuff like that never happens. It is better to laugh at the pain. It will go away the memory is forever immortalized. Laughing would have not changed rhe outcome.
