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.

Very Cool
The Russian Ministry of Defense has released an incredible image taken from inside the glazed nose of the Il-76 'Candid' cargo jet that looks as if it was a screen capture from inside an imperial fighter or bomber from Star Wars.
I have been in one of those planes when they delivered cargo to our airport. When I asked one of the Russian crew members what the nose seat was, he responded, "this is where we drop bomb on you." They then borrowed our crew car and bought a bunch of vodka. This was around 1996.
