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.
We had a rat snake try to come through our downstairs door once. (Rat snakes are harmless but they stink.) When my wife saw the snake, she screamed like a little girl. I ran and snatched it up by its tail before it could get in. The snake was not happy, but as I walked it out to the small patch of woods from whence it came, my wife heard me saying: "You're all right, mate. You're all right."
She went from screaming to laughing her ass off. We both loved watching Steve Irwin.
Sure miss Steve Irwin. Man, taking all the good ones. How about they take out some trash sometime.

His family is carrying on the tradition very well. I do miss Steve though.
