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.
When I was a kid being "punished" by days-long boring road trips (I was too young to appreciate them), I used to stare out the window at the world passing by and imagine doing exactly that, for thousands of miles. The sides of the road were infinitely more interesting than the road itself.
There used to be a place where there was a series of steps cut into a mountain about 8 to 10 foot high and maybe 25 feet apart. Doing jumps from one step to the other was some of the most fun I ever had. Anybody remember Little Mountain in socal?
