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.
The scaredest I ever was while camping in the back country was when I heard a bull moose calling for a mate in the middle of the night, and over the course of a couple hours he got closer and closer to my camp. I can sleep through wolves howling (in the distance, preferably), but a horny moose in the neighborhood makes me nervous.
Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
ReplyDeleteBullwinkle is about to take one in the brisket and become roasts, steaks and stew. MMMM, moose.
