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.
While growing up I always read and heard stories about the "majestic" bald eagle, the symbol of American greatness. Maybe 15 years ago, I went on a trip to Alaska and found out that this bird is a tiny bit more "majestic" than a crow, a raven or a vulture. Up north the birds are so prevalent that they gather a dozen or two to a tree and just roost there until handouts or roadkill become available.
Eagle looks like he’s done this before.
