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.

During basic training in '64 we had to wax and buff the floors every night on big buffers much like the ones shown here. There was always some moron that would sit on them and try to ride it.

To ba we didn't have cell phones with movie recording.

DeleteIf they get away from you they can REALLY get away from you. A buffer operates much the same but electric. No hold no power.
