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.
Reminds me of the old summer cottages around Lake Michigan in Holland, Michigan that we went to when I was a kid. None of them were insulated, either. Just studs and clapboard.
i was told the reason they were skeleton-frame exposed was because if they were finished, the critters would make them into winter homes while the summer folk weren't there. ?
