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?

They are pretty smart and entertaining but only until you park your car to look at the view and these smug bastards tear your wiper blades and any external rubber strips / trim off your car. I recall one perching on my arm and looking cute before taking a huge crap on my sleeve.
