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.
Not really. Their vision sucks. It's why they bite a lot of things that aren't food, because they can't tell before then. They get most of their information from the motion sensors along their lateral lines from head to tail.
Black Tips are reef sharks. Graceful and interesting, they'll leave you alone if you don't harass them. Even then they'll likely shy away. You really have to want it to get one to come at you. To do so puts you firmly in the stupid jerk category. YMMV

I'd say if you have to live in the water, living in clean water is a lucky thing, even if you are stone blind.
