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.
My son was a diver for a while. He recounted a story where another diver on his gig felt he was being watched while way down bolting some pipes together. It was a killer whale, right on his shoulder. He said he was never scared after that as if it meant you harm you'd never see it coming.
Must have been a Monday...
