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.
We camped in the Everglades for Spring Break a couple of years ago. We learned from one of the rangers that juvenile gators stay with mom for a couple of years, which surprised me. I never thought gators had much in the way of maternal instincts.
Had a baby gator back in Texas in 1960...they bite.
ReplyDeleteProbably on its mom’s back.
