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.

There's nice, and then there's really, really nice
Right after my US Air Force career father was transferred to Colorado Springs, an uncle living in Denver drove down to visit in his pumpkin-colored Porsche.
friend's dad was an aero engineer, they lived on Long Island. he was in california on business, so his mom drove my friend and his older brother out to the coast in their Jaguar sedan. mom&sons pass a gun store, and, being the youngest, my friend pitches a tantrum to stop. mom relents, when they get inside he pitches another til she bought him a derringer. they drive away, and, by and by she pulls up to a stop sign. he leans out the back window and put two rounds into it. he was eleven.
