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.
bartender at NYC hip spot "One University Place" (or "Chinese Chance") called one sunday nite says he's got Billl Burroughs at the bar so I got over there and sat two stools away to soak up the vibe.
Bill blew his wife's brains out trying for an apple on her head like that the last time they gave it a shot.
Grandson of the guy who invented a mechanical adding machine that transformed business, and led to the Burroughs Corporation. Pretty sure I had passing acquaintance with a couple Burroughs computers early in my career as a geek, and certainly had dealings with their machines in their later incarnation as UNISYS..
Doubt if William had much to do with them, though.
Never mess with old men. They're too tired and broken to fight you fair, and their time is too precious to waste bothering with you, so they'll just shoot you dead, and leave you for the crows.
The beat author William S. Burroughs....
