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?

I was doing a test drive for another novice mechanic when the brakes failed. Discovered he left an angled wrench on a brake bleeder, and suspension movement pushed it open. Early Chevy Corvair, back when cars had single chamber master cylinders. Open bleeder equals no brakes.
