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.

Fear of snakes I believe is built in for some folks. I am one. Surprised by a curved dead branch mowing the lawn I'll run over the damn thing cursing up a storm.... I know others just as crazy(?) as I am. I live in Maine which (supposedly) has no poisonous snakes. So, being cool, I shouldn't overreact - but I do.
