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.
Girl I worked with, in '79, had a husband that was a sponsored National level Flat Track Racer. Thought nothing of entering a corner of a dirt track at 130mph while putting his foot down on a Harley D. We had a noticeable earthquake during work in Sunnyvale, bad enough to crack the walls of the warehouse, and we saw waves running across the blacktop parking lot. She went home, and discovered him packing to leave CA. He left, and she followed him a week later, back to the mid-west.
I thought it was odd that he would move back to an area that had the worst earthquake in the know history of North America, the New Madrid in 1811. That one actually changed the location of the Mississippi River. IIRC, they heard it in NYC.
Low side, he’ll be fine.
ReplyDeleteFine? Other than a flat spot on his butt that is! Kinda throws off that natural inertial guidance thingy when walking.
