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.

Tarzan apparently knows how to work the machine gun
One of many sequels to the original "Tarzan of the Apes". Most are very good but toward the end some were "licensed" by the Burroughs estate after the authors death and were generally dreadful.
I read some of the Tarzan novels back in the day. He was a cultured English gentleman running around Africa getting involved with strange civilizations, something similar to Rider Haggard novels. None of this Johnny Weissmuller stuff.
P.S. 'Course I was in the East Point Theater whenever one of those Weissmuller Tarzan movies came out. Never appreciated the later one. My dad insisted that Buster Crabbe was the best.
Me Tarzan, you dead.
