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.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere (and incorrectly, I might add) that 50% of the US population lives between Boston and DC. I just looked it up and see that the real number is not 50% ... but 19%. And having lived in both Philly and DC for several decades, I can tell you that while the number is crowded and a bit insane, it is also thrilling and intense.
It never ceases to amaze me the number of people that call themselves Americans and can't wait to tell everyone how much they love this country but that also can't wait to trash this country.
Don't like big cities? Then don't live in a big city. Don't like the east coast (or the west coast), then stay in the middle. This is a free and large country. You can choose to live anywhere you want. In that maps is contained the birthplace of our nation. The fields where most independence battles were fought. Our Nation's capital, the greatest city in this country, 80% of the country's top universities, 80% of our colonial landmarks, 15-20% of the American population.
Some of you say you love America but it seems you hate most of America.
A festering hive of thievery and depravity.
ReplyDeleteYeah, quite a few lops live there.
ReplyDeleteFrom where all the non-California bad decisions come.

ReplyDeleteNo Way in Hell I'd live there.
