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.
Reminds me of the time the cat jumped for the top of the toilet tank, but caught the edge of the open seat and lid. The look on her face as it delivered her to the bowl was memorable. She was looking right at me as she fell. Unfortunately we had the blue stuff in the water tank, so I had to raise the seat and lid and lift her out. She acted sort of stunned, as she didn't protest when I gave her a bath with shampoo to clean her fur. (Might have gotten whacked in the head by the seat/lid.) I was afraid that blue stuff would poison her if I didn't clean her up.
