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.
Those shotguns on the hood.... I worked in a rich man's sandbox once. He had a couple thousand acres we could play on once or twice a year. Had a skeet range there. He opened a warped plywood door in the high house, and pulled out a very rusty, worn Purdey 410 double. I had to dig back then to find the value of one.... $50,000 was about the minimum I saw. This one was left to rot for months at a time in a plywood box. Hurt my heart to see a queenly beauty treated like a sewer pipe.
No. 3 - where is that? Absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best Open Roads in awhile. Thank you.
