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?

In the early 1980s, I used to walk along the empty stretch of beach between Melbourne and Sebastian Inlet. There were three houses with dogs along the two miles or so I walked. As I walked, one dog would join me, a few minutes later another would join us, and finally the third. We four would walk for a while and then go back the way we had come. One by one, those dogs peeled off at their houses until I finished walking alone.
I had forgotten about that until I saw this picture. Thanks for reminding me.
