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.
In 1963 we went thru Yellowstone and the bears did that, they liked cigarettes too. My dad stopped, the bear got up and looked in the window, my mom leaped to my dad's lap and made some noise. Dad laughed and we drove on. Fast forward to 1991. I'm taking my family to Yellowstone and telling the kids about the bears, bears everywhere! No bears anymore, they keep them out of the valley now.
About 55 years ago, we went to Yellowstone. I remember a poster warning about feeding the bears. Seems a guy fed one some marshmallows until he figured it'd had enough. The bear begged to differ, and with one swipe took the man's arm off at the shoulder. The picture showed the man, still holding the bag of marshmallows, with a fountain of blood spurting out where his other arm used to be. According to the poster, the man died a couple minutes later.
Does da bear get handed a treat or pull it out of the window on its own?

WILD ANIMALS are called "wild" because they are not tamed or socialized. The passenger may be getting ready to have his/her arm mauled.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Kamala.
