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.
Mighty pretty. As Bruce Babbitt would say, "That's a prodigious forest". Just before he would approve of shutting down all logging on federal land and reintroducing Gray Wolves (Canis lupis) imported from Canada. Typical trust fund baby.
Oh it's not entirely asleep. I recall getting to the summit plateau and smelling the sulfur stench of the fumaroles near the peak. People were using the hot gravel near the vents to melt snow for water. Lassen is even more active. But the one to really worry about is Ranier. It's rock has been rotting out from the inside for centuries, and if it ever lets loose an eruption, the lahar has the potential to wipe Tacoma off the map.
I fondly recall those commercials. I've swilled many a pony pack of pounders because they were cheaper than most other 12 ounce brands. But that was many moons ago. I haven't bought booze in so long, I don't even know what brands are still out there.
