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.
Sold cars for a while back in 1976. One of the salesmen ordered this horrendous Dodge Aspen in green, with a green vinyl roof and a green interior. It was fugly. Owner was furious when it showed up. He was going on vacation and told us, nothing was important enough for us to call him. He said if the freaking dealership burned down, it wasn't important enough. He walked out the door and turned around and said, "If the dealership does burn down, that freaking Aspen better be on the showroom floor". I sent the car to prep and they waxed it all up, threw the wheel covers on it and I put it on the floor. Some guy came in, fell in love with it and I made a ton of money on it. Old saying....there's an ass for every seat.
Am I the only one to miss naugahyde? Throw the dogs in the backseat, kids vomit on it, etc etc, and you just wiped it up. Hot as hades in the summer, so you set on a towel, but damn, it was durable.
