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 service manager had to spend a week in a small town in Nor-Dakoter one January. There was one place to stay, one place to eat and one place to drink, and they were all the same place. A south Miz-sippi native, he had never seen cold and snow like that, so was very definitely a fish out of water. He says to the waitress one night, what do you people do up here in the winter? Drink, she said.
