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.
A few years back there was a huge snowstorm in Boston (I think) and the Mayor had to ask people to stop jumping out of upper story windows into snow drifts because people were getting hurt. Thus was born a new political position - antiautodefenestrationism!
Traditionally, it also included tying them off via using one end of their intestines, while yet alive, and letting them do an impromptu rappel, coming to a stop when 30' or so of bowel jerked them to a halt, and leaving them to die a slow, painful death tethered to the other end of their guts, hanging between heaven and earth.
Every other way to die has such simple words. Shooting, stabbing slashing, poisoning, etc., but dieing by being thrown from a window gets its own special word that sends you to a dictionary the first time you see it.

DeleteMust be one of those 9mm rounds that got Jopedo so spooked.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see a lung come out first though. Must'a missed it.
