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.
Watched Jay Leno the other night on his garage show with a pristine corvette and its owner who just got 99 points at the show and Jay touched everything and everything he touched he left fingerprints on, on an absolutely spotless perfect car. It was kind of funny to watch the owner not cringe...
Couple of years ago I was meeting a friend at a bar in Waikino, which is in the Karangahake Gorge between Paeroa and Waihi, in New Zealand. The barmaid, a bleached blonde buxom woman in her mid twenties I guess, who had most of her breasts showing, and really huge false eyelashes on ... you get the picture ... poured my Jack Daniels and coke in a tall glass and added heaps of ice cubes, and upon my saying 'Ooh, no ice, please' she promptly reached in with her false nailed fingers and started to take the ice cubes out. No way was I going to drink that (think of her nails and the effect on toilet paper) so I said 'Hey, give me a new drink' at which point she barred me from the place. So, if you are ever in New Zealand, make a point of not stopping at that bar.
