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?

Our local refuse collectors are awesome. Some years ago the men (and girls, probably) managed to get the ear of someone on the council. Let us work out the schedules, they said. No more rubbish and recyclables piling up over holidays. I've got a few mates who do that, they work fewer hours, achieve more, and have fun doing it. Sounds like the perfect military chain of command, officers ask their non-coms who listen to the boots on the ground.
