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.

As if big volcanic eruptions in Iceland and La Palma Island aren't enough!
Now, overnight we have a new eruption within Halemaʻumaʻu crater at Kīlauea’s summit on the big island of Hawaii.
Hot lava is even bubbling out of fissures in the crater wall.
Plus, it's fun to try to pronounce "Halem'uma'u" like a real Hawaiian.
It's something like "Ha -lay Maw-OO Maw-OO...," with extreme exaggeration of the spaces between the syllables. Practice by turning to someone who isn't expecting anything and announce, "there's a new volcanic eruption occurring now in the Ha-lay Mah-OO Mah-OO caldera," and see what happens.
Kilauea Volcano Eruption Begins Again (Sept. 29, 2021)
The guy doing the civil defense warning announcement pronounces "Halem'uma'u" correctly, like a proper Hawaiian should.
