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?

When we was kids, take a white sheet, tack the top to the house, stake the bottom out at a slant, shine a light behind it, and we collected just about all the moths and butterflies, filled dozens of cigar boxes with specimens, pretty amazing how many kinds there are, the best where lunar moths and hummingbird moths, nature/God is incredible.
Heh, thought I'd studied many of them on my windshield, including dissection of their innards via splotches, green, brown, black - I guess there's more varieties than ever imagined!
I copied and shared this with my wife. She loves it!!!
