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.
I worked up on the Artic ice and worked for years down in the Wyoming oilfields building gas plants above 8500-9000 ft elevation in the high country, the last damn thing I want to do is camp in the snow or climb a ice cliff. A bored rich kid hobby...not somebody who works in the real world. Screw ice and snow...give me a dark warm bar, iced strong bourbon and a fireplace.
But, Mom
