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.

ReplyDeleteI used to live in Rochester NY, I saw Kodak EVERYWHERE.
ReplyDeleteKodak has never recovered from the double whammy of Polaroid (and the patent infringement lawsuit) and digital photography.

ReplyDeleteA Kodak engineer invented the first digital camera. They shelved it because film was a cash cow.

ReplyDeleteMy house burned down and my Nikon, Cannon, Bronica, and Seagull cameras were reduced to ash. Magnesium burns very hot.
My last surviving camera was stolen from my car ten days later.
Yeah, kids will never know the required patience to have a roll of film developed to see if their photo came out right.
ReplyDeleteThem and Fotomat. Good ol' days.
