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.
I don't know about so-called "climate change" but Panama and most of Central and South America is going through a period of drought. The Canal was in trouble for quite a while prior. They needed to dam up a tributary river to provide water to the locks and they did not do it. They "solution" is for ships to unload on one side of the country, then railroad trains to pick up freight, transport it to the other side and reload it onto ships.
Now, I am told that Nicaragua is planning to build a canal.
I keep reading the canal is drying up due to climate change.
