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.

Whale Hunters Lamalera Village, located in a remote area of Indonesia, c. 2017.
If that flying spearman connects they're gonna need a bigger boat.
ReplyDeleteTime to enjoy a Lamalera Sleigh Ride!
ReplyDeleteThat's more sporting than a harpoon cannon with an explosive head on the bow of a giant ship & everybody gets a great ride too. I'd try it, one time.
ReplyDeleteFaith in action. Must be one just below the surface. Should be a ride to remember, but I would bet those guys have been there before
ReplyDeleteI believe that the dorsal area of the whale can be seen breaking the surface about where Queequeg is aiming his harpoon.
ReplyDeleteAnd if the line somehow looped around Queequeg's neck, his head will be popped off in an instant when the whale reacts.
ReplyDelete"Hold ma' beer...."...
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Queequeg does after he connects and this buddies take off on a Lamalera Sleigh Ride
ReplyDelete"Throw the stinky butter at them!"
