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.
I remember accordion folding a whole roll of paper caps over a straight pin with the pin through the gunpowder spot. Fold tightly, wrap with tape into a cube, set cube on fire and, BANG! GI Joe lost a leg or arm.
Ha!...I also had a .38 snub-nose with a shoulder holster..Try that today!..And a belt buckle that had a single shot derringer...Boy did I waste my paper-route $$$... Had Fun!...That was the point wasn't it?
With the little rolls of paper caps.

ReplyDeleteNothing like the assault on your budding ears when you smash a roll of caps with a hammer.
ReplyDeleteI found the bang was more satisfying in the passage between brick garage and the kitchen. My mother did not find it in the least satisfying.
