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?

Hopefully the tech for suppressing the sonic booms makes its way to commercial aircraft soon. Would love to have some 5-hour flights from LA to Sydney like in cyberpunk literature.
