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.

When you're young you feel like you are indestructible.
People who dive off cliffs and piers are missing a few upstairs, one of the first rules when learning to swim was never ever dive in water unless you know for sure what lies beneath. Had an teacher who dove off a pier & is in a wheel chair for life.
I used to jump off a bridge in N Idaho and the surrounding cliffs. One day the water level was very low and the support columns of the old bridge emerged
Not only felt indestructible, acted like it and were indestructible. Now fragile as a baby bird, and a bottle of prescription meds
ReplyDeleteThat stuff catches up with you, ask me how I know.

ReplyDeleteThey probably know for a fact "what lies beneath".
ReplyDeleteLooks like a gang that spends time there regularly.
