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.
Was called Mt Egmont but that was racccisssst so the local tribe got it changed. It has legal person hood and one of the local Maori can talk with it - I suspect a fee is required. It's very close to the coast - about 10 miles, and attracts weather that can be intense. 8,263 ft high but you can drive to about 3,000 ft. Looks benign but it's not with a fair list of fatalities over the years. I grew up in its shadow. A nice bit of the world with good fishing in seas and rivers plus good hunting.
