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 tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
In the good old days the hood ornament of your '55 Pontiac could be used to tie your boat down. Road dust on a car is like callouses on your hands, both are proof that you've done something. Al_in_Ottawa

ReplyDeleteI like the fact that one boat ain't enough, gotta have two!
