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.
But we're they? The total cost to others of that stupidity needs to be extracted in pounds of flesh.....and still the stupid cannot learn. Narcissistic selfishness. Differ
Yes - selfish in the extreme. I played pool with a guy, an energetic, upbeat guy - fun to compete against. His daughter commuted to work by train. A guy decided he was going to commit suicide by train and parked his vehicle on the tracks. He changed his mind, but not in time. Train hit it. He lived, but the daughter died along with several others. My acquaintance was despondent, depressed. Could not get over how unfair it was. He died of a heart attack (broken heart ?) shortly thereafter. Accountability? Perhaps a little. But not enough. Couldn't be.
