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.
Reminds me of the time we watched a bear trying to chase down a deer on a hillside in Yellowstone NP. You could almost see the bear, that time, give up and act like it was up there just for the berries.
A real-life risk-reward decision. Ski faster to lose the bear and risk falling, or ski slower to tire the bear out and risk falling - slightly less? There is no make-up test.
I can't tell, is the bear wearing skis?
ReplyDeleteDarn, I wanted to see where the bear caught him.
