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.
Well, twenty-four years later myself, I like to think of myself as 200 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal. Only 20 pounds heavier than the day I hung up my boots. I should qualify that by saying I shave in the shower and have not looked in a mirror in 15 years, though. Eod1sg Ret
