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 remember Young Sign Co. I think from the 50's or maybe earlier they were one of (or the largest sign companies in the country). The CEO was sitting in his office overlooking Vegas when he saw a storm coming across the desert. He said later that he jumped up and said "Oh shit". Vegas was hit by 70 mph winds which took down Young's largest sign.(The Hilton, which had elevators to take maintenance crews up to change bulbs and neon.) The footer on this sign was 19 floors deep. After the investigation was complete, many sign regulations were changed across the country. Bubbarust

The lone and level sands stretch far away. Now I have an idea about a parody version of Ozymandius.
