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 up to my trout camp last weekend, and found that the beavers had built a bank lodge right at the bottom of my hill, dang it all. A number of years ago, they took down the majority of my poplars, so I got some locals to trap them out. No money in it anymore, nobody is interested in their skins. I'm gonna have to get after that thing soon, or I'll lose the few remaining poplars I have, I'd bet.
