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.
back in the days when each line had one model with different trim levels instead of each line trying to sell everything. part of what finally broke Detroit. For instance, Chevy was the intro car with two or so variants of same car, then you moved up the chain, Pontiac, Buick, Olds, finally Caddy at the top. Not sure how Chrysler was delineated but DeSoto was towards the top, i think.
toofy!
