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.

Worked with a woman that had a degree from a college in Quebec. She said when she had do Papers based on length, if she had a lot to say she wrote in English, if she did not have much to say shed wrote in French. She always met the length requirements.
Well it turns out the French version is longer than the English translation. Only because the English is missing a few lost chapters. But if the chapter about the 2 lesbian lovers on a road trip made it into the English version, then I'll pass on the missing French chapters. That's some wasted time I'll never get back.
