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 used to work with a guy, very competent, but he looked like an evolutionary throwback. He was 100% Native American, smart as a whip, but he had short legs, very stocky, and a skull that looked like early man. He used to remark, laughingly, that he had a face and body that only an anthropologist could love.
I vividly remember my blessed mother looking at an image like this and saying, "A face only a mother would love!!!"

Dogbo
ReplyDeleteI truly believe that this young pup has been watching re-runs of actress Sally Field in "The Flying Nun!!!" 😎
ReplyDeleteMy dog has ears like that. When he stretches & shakes his head in the early AM, the flapping wakes everyone up.
