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 was in Gdansk rigging a ship for about six weeks. The city center escaped bombing during the war, and is nicely preserved. There is a stark contrast between the beautiful prewar architecture and the Soviet concrete abominations.
I am not a ocean lover, but "rigging a ship" has piqued an interest in what is involved in that. Can you offer a reference to where I might get some background? Thanks.
On the eve of WW II, almost entirely ethnic German. Now almost entirely ethnic Pole.
