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.
Went close to the Albanian border whilst in Yugoslavia in about 1980. Yugoslavia was pretty awful down that way but the rumors were that Albania was another level of depressing. Funny how the world is sometimes crap when you are on the surface but even those parts often look great from a few feet up. Maybe that's why I like flying.
I've been all around the world, and Albania is the worst place ever. Totally without merit. They export only three things - organized crime, sex slaves (usually kidnapped from Romania or Ukraine), and stolen cars.
Albani? Never heard of it :)
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall its from a W.C.Fields movie. He becomes king and all the men are named George.

ReplyDeleteMy son worked in Albania for a while. When someone asked what their major export was, he said "people".
