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.
Story is an Englishman was having tea with a Chinese official in China and asked why the cups lacked a handle. The official asked why would there be a handle? The Englishman replied that the cup could be picked up when the tea was very hot. Chinese official then said "If cup is too hot to pick up, the tea is too hot to drink, what's the point?".
they be pretty blue, got an entire pot pan dish cup kit, used it only a couple times, the coffee pot my wife uses on our home gas stove when she wants a couple cups of rocket fuel, lets it perk away till the grounds give up the ghost. its like that stuff they give you in the tiny coffee cup at a latin joint.
Looking at those mugs kind of makes you want to go camping, doesn't it?

The metal cups can take some rough handling and coffee as hot as you can make it! My lips have a hard time with a metal cup that hot!
