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.
Twirling! Twirling! TWIRLING towards freedom! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CCh9sk-9l4)
ReplyDeleteEarth's motion around the Sun, not as simple as I thought
ReplyDeleteHow, exactly, does planet Earth move through the Universe?
ReplyDelete- accompanying the sun in the Galaxy, and with the Galaxy amongst other galaxies...
One heck of a carnival ride.
ReplyDeleteAnd you run and you run
ReplyDeleteTo catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
Racing around
To come up behind you again
The sun is the same
In a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath
And one day closer to death
And the insignificant hairless apes on one of those trailing rocks believe they are controlling the weather.
