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.

Little Billy enjoyed himself thoroughly, except for the spanking afterward
I was about 4 yrs when I really very much wanted to see what color the paint in a gallon can. Of course I could read, but I wanted to see it. I found something - not a can opener - and pried away.
It took some effort but I wasn't going to give up. Finally the lid let go and yellow paint splashed in my hair, across my face, my arms and legs, and the back seat of the car. I had gone with mom on errands and had stayed in the car while she ran in for a chat with a friend. I do not remember a whooping.
Coke?
