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.
Just think. Before long there won't be anyone left who could have conceived, developed, built, maintained and operated a device so complex. Or, maybe even a '55 Ford.
Same thing goes for the people running your municipal water and sewage system, if you're on one. Prepare for the illiterates and innumerates to be in charge.
You're going to have the same situation in nearly every aspect of this civilization if the leftist get their way. "...Get rid of 'whitey' and there go all the problems..." Until everything stops working and none of the DIE replacements can figure out how anything gets fixed. Gonna be something to see.
I have worked in that building but 50 years later than the B-36 era. That is the AF Plant on, now, Fort Worth JRB where Lockheed-Martin Aeronautics is headquartered. It is said that they had to tip the nose of the B-36 up to get one through the doors at the end of the production line.
When I was a little kid, we were in the take off flight path 0f b-36. I told my mother that airplane touched me. We also had home movies with a b-58 flying over. On the phone you always said just a minute and then they said it is over m house now.
