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 had a big TV on a lazy susan base for my office....it was in the corner and the office had various desks around the room, and I could turn the TV in the direction I was working...I remember one early morning hearing on talk radio about a plane hitting WTC....I turned on that TV just in time to see the second plane hitting the other tower...I do remember that TV in my office on the swivel
The house I grew up in was built around 1956, every house in the small development had a "state of the art" General Electric kitchen. Enameled steel cabinets and drawers, a top loading GE dishwasher with what looked like an outboard motor propeller in the bottom, and these retractible pull-out cords with female wiring devices on the ends that would only fit in GE-specific counter-top appliances like the coffee maker. It was yellow but not too different from the catalog examples show in the link below - with the wall-mounted refrigerator and counter space and lower cabinets underneath. Friends would come over and ask to use the telephone - and then asked where is it? We would answer "its underneath the refrigerator" LOL
