Concur. I used to pass this marker on my way home from school. Sam Whittemore’s story is even better than the information on the marker conveys.
Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything—you can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him. Robert Heinlein.
And in the case of Samuel Wittemore, they couldn’t even kill him.
Reminds me of John Burns.
Cool 😎
Means I still have a couple decades of chances to be a total badass!
