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.
Even the wetbacks that worked for my dad pouring concrete quit drinking that stuff about 1974. There weren't many Mexican imports back then so they switched to Bud.
My dad was a dedicated Schlitz drinker. Only Schlitz. Then one day in the mid 70's he bought a 6 pack and exclaimed, "I must have gotten a bad batch. This tastes like shit!" He opened a second can and confirmed it too tasted bad then proceeded to pour the 6 pack down the sink. About a month later he bought another 6 and, sure enough, these tasted like shit, too. After that he switched to Budweiser and never bought another Schlitz for the rest of his life. It was only later we found out that they had changed their formula to be more "cost effective". How'd that work out for them?
---any o' you guys try ballantyne? A buddy of mine (in Vietnam) sent a can of it back to the States for analysis. The chemists said his horse had bad kidneys. Same with the gook ba mi bah (33) shit.
